When the cardiac center of the medulla increases heart rate, it causes an increase in blood pressure.
Added by Ashley S.
Step 1
Step 1: The cardiac center of the medulla oblongata detects changes in the body's needs for oxygen and nutrients, responding to signals from the body regarding physical activity or stress. Show more…

An increase in nerve impulses (action potentials) originating from the vasomotor center results in increased ___ activity and a(n) ___ blood pressure. a. parasympathetic, increase b. parasympathetic, decrease c. sympathetic, increase d. sympathetic, decrease QUESTION 4 Fred has high blood pressure. This would cause ___ in the amount of fluid leaving the arteriole side of the capillary bed and entering the tissues. a. an increase b. a decrease c. both increase and decrease d. no change

An increase in parasympathetic outflow to the heart results in: - A decrease in arterial blood pressure followed by an increase in HR - An increase in the rate of electrical conduction from the SA to the AV nodes - An increase in HR - A decrease in HR - An increase in arterial blood pressure

Which of the following will occur as a result of baroreceptors? 1. Increased action potential discharge of aortic baroreceptors 2. Decreased activity of parasympathetic ganglion neurons controlling the heart 3. Increased vagus nerve activity 4. Increased force of cardiac muscle contraction 45. Which of the following is/are normal acute cardiovascular responses to exercise? 1. Fall in venous return to the heart 2. Marked increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR) 3. Increase in mean arterial blood pressure 4. Dilation of blood vessels to the skin 5. Maintenance of normal body temperature 46. Which is the most important long-term factor (weeks to months) that determines blood pressure? 1. Number of heart B-adrenoceptors 2. Number of nerve fibers innervating the aortic and carotid arch baroreceptors 3. High-pressure baroreceptors 4. Blood volume 5. Skeletal muscle activity and posture 6. Pulmonary blood flow Which of the following mechanisms will cause an immediate increase in cardiac output? 1. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system 2. Dilation of veins 3. Activation of high-pressure baroreceptors 4. Stimulation of the vagus nerve A man has been wounded in a knife fight and has lost a significant amount of blood (about 15% of his normal volume). The body tries to compensate by increasing cardiac output to supply oxygen to the tissues. Which of the following mechanisms is plausible for this? 1. Constriction of veins and venules in the systemic circulation 2. Inhibition of parasympathetic preganglionic cells in the vagus nerve 3. Increase in heart rate 4. Increase in force of ventricular contraction
