6. A 65-year old male had been experiencing frequent episodes of syncope (faint) as he
got out of bed in the morning. He was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension due to a
malfunction in his baroreceptor reflex. Activation of baroreceptor reflex
a. is primarily involved in short-term regulation of systemic
b. leads to an increase in heart rate because of inhibition of the vagal cardiac
motor neurons.
c. occurs only under situations in which blood pressure is markedly elevated
d. causes increased cardiac output.

Following a motor vehicle accident, a large loss of blood will initially cause:
a lowered BP due to a decreased cardiac output
a higher BP due to an increased stroke volume
no change in BP but a slower heart rate
no change in BP but an increased respiration rate
a.
b.

If vagal nerves to the heart were injured, the result should be that:
the heart would stop contracting
the heart rate would increase
the atrioventricular node would take-over as the hearts pacemaker
parasympathetic stimulation to the heart would increase
