a. Venous return during diastole
b. End systolic volume
c. Total peripheral (systemic) resistance
d. All of the above are primary factors of preload - (ANSWER)c. Total peripheral (systemic)

Which of the following statements are INCORRECT
,3|Page
a. The mean arterial pressure is the average force of pushing blood through the systemic circuit.
b. The pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures
c. A decrease in aortic compliance increases its stiffness and thus can lead to an increase in pulse
pressures
