Question

As a result of a sudden increase in the blood pressure, signals from baroreceptors lead to a(n) ___ in a sympathetic outflow from the vasomotor center, which results in a(n) ___ in peripheral resistance and return of blood pressure to normal.

Answer 1

leads to decrease; which results in a decrease in peripheral resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

In biology receptors are organs in the body that can detect and respond to changes (external stimulus). Baroreceptors are usually located in the carotid sinus and in the aortic arch in the body of humans. Their main function is to sense blood pressure changes.

Baroreceptors work together with the vasomotor center which regulates blood pressure (leading to the decrease in sympathetic outflow).

The regulation done by the vasomotor center then leads to Peripheral resistance ( the resistance of the arteries to blood flow determined by sympathetic activity.
