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

Step 1
This leads to an increase in sympathetic response (a) and a decrease in parasympathetic response (b). The sympathetic response also causes vasoconstriction of arterioles (c), which helps to increase blood pressure. However, this can also lead to a decrease in Show more…

Which of the following would not be a response stimulated by a large drop in blood pressure? a. Constriction of afferent renal arterioles b. Increased release of renin c. Increased release of antidiuretic hormone d. Increased thirst e. Constriction of efferent renal arterioles
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
