選擇題 (50)

1. A human red blood cell in an artery of the left arm is on its way to deliver oxygen to a cell in the thumb. To travel from the artery to the thumb and then back to the left ventricle, this red blood cell must pass through __
(A) one capillary bed
(B) two capillary beds
(C) three capillary beds
(D) four capillary beds
2. Blood is pumped at high pressures in arteries from the heart to ensure that all parts of the body receive adequate blood flow. Capillary beds, however, would hemorrhage under direct arterial pressures. How does the design of the circulatory network contribute to reducing blood pressure to avoid this scenario?
(A) Blood flow through the capillaries is essentially frictionless, and this reduces the amount of pressure on their walls.
