Question

Choose the appropriate letter below to make the statements true.

(a) stimulates or increase

(b) decreases or inhibits

(c) has no effect on

- Decreased cardiac output ___ the mean systemic arterial blood pressure.

- Decreased venous radius ___ the venous return.

- Increased arteriolar radius ___ the total peripheral resistace.

- Decreased O2, increased CO2, increased acid, and increased K+ concentrations in the skeletal muscle ___ the radius of the arterioles supplying this skeletal muscle.

- Increased total peripheral resistance ___ the mean systematic arterial blood pressure.

- Increased parasympathetic nerve activity ___ the heart rate.

- Decreased blood pressure ___ the rate of firing in afferent nerves arising from the baroreceptors.

-Increased venous return ____ the end-diastolic volume.

Explain reasoning for each

Explanation / Answer

-Decreased cardiac output decrease the mean systemic arterial blood pressure, because of less blood amounts.

-Decreased venous radius increase the venous return, because of less distribution of blood in periphery.

-Increased arteriolar radius increases the total peripheral resistance, because of more area of supply.

-Decreased O2, increased CO2, increased acid and increased K+ concentration in the skeletal muscle increase the radius of the Arterioles supplying this skeletal muscle, because of more need of blood to that particular muscle.

-Increased total peripheral resistance increases the main systematic arterial blood pressure because of more pressure exertion.

-Increased parasympathetic nerve activity decrease the heart rate, because of acetylcholine neurotransmitter and receptor.

-Decreased blood pressure increases the rate of firing in afferent nerves arising from the baroreceptors, because of reflex mechanisms.

-Increased venous return increases the end diastolic volume, because more blood coming to the heart.
