**Question:**

An increase in which of the following will produce an increase in the mean arterial pressure?

- ○ All the above
- ○ Heart contractility
- ○ Total peripheral resistance
- ○ Venous return

**Explanation:**

This question is designed to test the understanding of factors affecting mean arterial pressure (MAP). An increase in heart contractility, total peripheral resistance, or venous return can each lead to an increase in MAP. Selecting "All the above" is correct because all listed factors contribute to an increase in mean arterial pressure. There are no graphs or diagrams to explain in this image.
