1.

Identify the locations of the baroreceptors and chemoreceptors that help regulate BP.

2.

Lowered blood volume would cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

3.

Increasing the blood volume will cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

4.

Increasing the heart rate (HR) and therefore the cardiac output (CO) will cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

5.

Decreasing the heart rate (HR) and therefore the cardiac output (CO) will cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

6.

Increased peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction) will cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

7.

Decreased peripheral resistance (vasodilation) will cause:

a)

increased BP

b)

decreased BP

c)

no change in BP

8.

Baroreceptors are specialized neurons found in the aortic arch and carotid arteries that are sensitive to:

pH

9.

Chemoreceptors are specialized neurons found in the aortic arch and carotid arteries that are sensitive to:
