Sample itemDuring exercise, arteriolar dilation produces an active increase in blood flow to skeletal muscle; what is this called?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
B. Active increased blood flow
The core Hemodynamic disorders principle identifies Active increased blood flow as the best answer because it most directly explains the biochemical pathway or tissue response described in the stem.
Option by option
A. Passive venous congestion
Passive venous congestion does not match the stated hemodynamic disorders mechanism.
B. Active increased blood flow (correct)
Correct. Active increased blood flow is supported by the key clue given.
C. Tissue fluid accumulation
Tissue fluid accumulation is relevant in another context but is not the best answer here.
D. Intravascular clot
Intravascular clot does not account for the central finding in this sample.
