Q

Atrial natriuretic peptide causes

A

arteriolar dilation

therefore decreased TPR

Q

The increase hydrostatic pressure of standing up leads to decreased

A

EDV

preload

The reflex response causes

A

decreased vagal tone

increased sympathetic tone

20
Q

decreased vagal tone

A

increased HR

Increase CO

21
Q

increased sympathy tone

A

increase HR

increase CO

increase contractility , SV
