Identify the locations of the baroreceptors and chemoreceptors that help regulate BP.
Lowered blood volume would cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Increasing the blood volume will cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Increasing the heart rate (HR) and therefore the cardiac output (CO) will cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Decreasing the heart rate (HR) and therefore the cardiac output (CO) will cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Increased peripheral resistance (vasoconstriction) will cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Decreased peripheral resistance (vasodilation) will cause:
increased BP
decreased BP
no change in BP
Baroreceptors are specialized neurons found in the aortic arch and carotid arteries that are sensitive to:
arterial pressure
venous pressure
blood oxygen
pH
Chemoreceptors are specialized neurons found in the aortic arch and carotid arteries that are sensitive to:
arterial pressure
venous pressure
blood oxygen/carbon dioxide levels
blood pH
RAAS is initiated by:
renin
aldosterone
angiotensin II
low BP
Angiotensin II acts as a hormone and causes responses from: (choose all that apply)
kidneys
posterior pituitary
hypothalamus
arteries
adrenal cortex
Which hormone opposes RAAS?
ANP (atrial nutriuretic peptide)
aldosterone
EPO (erythropoietin)
angiotensin II
E/NE
(epinephrine/
norepinephrine)
Match the following effectors to their response (produced by angiotensin II)
adrenal cortex
aldosterone release
hypothalamus
increased thirst
posterior pituitary
ADH release
peripheral arterioles
vasoconstriction
The top number of your blood pressure is the (a) and represents the pressure in the arteries created during (b) . The bottom number of the blood pressure is the (c) and represents the pressure in the arteries remaining during (d) .
High blood pressure is called (e) .
The primary issue of low BP is:
low volume
low water
low osmotic pressure
low perfusion rates
Choose all that have effects on overall BP.
peripheral resistance (amount of vasoconstriction)
cardiac output
heart rate
blood volume
hematocrit (% of RBCs in blood)
Which of the following could be triggered to correct hypotension?
tachycardia
bradycardia
vasoconstriction
vasodilation
RAAS
Which of the following could be triggered to correct hypertension?
tachycardia
bradycardia
vasoconstriction
vasodilation
ANP release
Organize these options into the right categories based on involvement with regulation of blood pressure.
baroreceptors
chemoreceptors
epinephrine
norepinephrine
ADH
aldosterone
erythropoietin
Atrial Natriuretic Peptides
RAAS
Categorize the options below according to whether they will elevate BP or lower BP.
vasoconstriction
vasodilation
increased heart rate
decreased heart rate
increased blood volume
decreased blood volume
aldosterone
Atrial Natriuretic Peptides
epinephrine/nor-epinephrine
ADH
angiotensin II
Reorder the following events that occur during RAAS.
low BP
renin is released from kidney
angiotensinogen becomes angiotensin 1.
ACE aids in the creation of angiotensin 2.
angiotensin 2 causes effect at various effectors
