In the baroreceptor reflex, a sudden drop in blood pressure will result in Group of answer choices a decrease in cardiac output an increase in systemic vasodilation a decrease in cardiac output stimulation of muscarinic receptors on the heart an increase in peripheral vascular resistance

Step 1
Baroreceptors are specialized cells located in the walls of certain blood vessels, particularly in the carotid sinus and aortic arch. These receptors detect changes in blood pressure and send signals to the brain to adjust it. Now, if there is a sudden drop in Show more…

Which of the following physiological responses would occur as a result of an acute drop in blood pressure, as measured by the carotid baroreceptors? Choose all that would apply. a. Increase in sympathetic response b. Decrease in parasympathetic response c. Vasoconstriction of arterioles d. Decrease in ventricular contraction force e. Increase in heart rate f. Decrease in cardiac output g. Increase in peripheral vascular resistance
An acute increase in mean arterial pressure that is not associated with exercise activates the high pressure and low-pressure baroreceptors in the aortic arch carotid bodies and atria baroreflex that results in which coordinated response: an increase in parasympathetic output all of these responses are accurate reduced total peripheral vascular resistance a decrea
