Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Baroreceptor stimulates the vasomotor center to increase the signal along the sympathetic pathway that extends to a blood vessel (vasoconstriction). This results in an increase the blood flow through the blood vessels.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why is it necessary to stimulate papillary muscles in the ventricle slightly earlier than the rest of the ventricular wall myocardium? a. to assure rapid conduction speed of the action potential b. to pull on AV valve cusps to prevent backflow c. to assure blood will surge toward the semilunar valves d. to assure coordinated contraction of the ventricular myocardium
Mr. Rogers is admitted into the Emergency room. When asked about his symptoms, Mr. Rogers claims that he feels pain whenever he touches his left forearm. The patient has no lesion, no history with injury to his forearm, and does not have a sunburn. His blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal and overall Mr Rogers seems like a healthy man. What is Mr. Rogers suffering from?   A. Referred pain from a myocardial infarction   B. Diffuse pain from activation of Aδ and C fibers   C. Allodynia   D. Hyperalgesia   E. “Wind up”, a pain-induced persistent increases in excitability and synaptic transmission in the ventral horn     F. Habituation
At point A, note that mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) is slightly lowered despite the large fall in cardiac output (CO). a. Why is CO decreased in response to hemorrhage? b. How is blood pressure maintained so well despite the fall in CO? c. What are the afferent receptors (sensors) responsible for this relatively well-maintained blood pressure at point A? d. What changes in stimuli for these receptors may be contributing to the response at point A?                e. What efferent mechanisms mediate the increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR)?
