    • Where does blood being pumped out of the heart first enter?

  • Capillaries
  • Aorta (correct)
  • Venules
  • Arterioles

    • What is preload in relation to cardiac myocytes?

  • The metabolic activity of cardiac myocytes
  • The initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes prior to contraction (correct)
  • The contraction phase of cardiac myocytes
  • The relaxation phase of cardiac myocytes
