Cardiovascular system - baroreceptor reflex

Question 1

BR - if BP is high

Answer 1

When BP is high, baroreceptors will become stimulated, decreasing HR, SV and cardiac output, resulting in vasodilation. This would decrease BP, returning it to WNL in order to achieve a state of balance (homeostasis)

Question 2

What is BP WNL

Answer 2

less than 120/80

Question 3

BR - if BP is low

Answer 3

When BP is low, baroreceptors will become inhibited, increasing HR, SV and cardiac output, resulting in vasoconstriction. This would increase BP, returning it to WNL in order to achieve a state of balance (homeostasis)
