Reduction in Sympathetic Input

91
Q

with Family History of Hypertension, ones SBP should be less than what?

92
Q

What happens during exercising?

A

Increase BP - to allow more blood flow to the tissues.

Increase CO2. - levels- this triggers a response from conducting cells at the SA Node to contract faster
increase Heart rate.

Increase O2. - levels will this triggers a response from conducting cells at the SA Node to contract faster

Increase Heart rate to allow more Oxygen to be delivered to the tissues.

93
Q
