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.
