Question

Control mechanisms that lower blood pressure to response to a rapid rise in blood pressure are called:

a. cardiac anomalies
b. dynamic balance mechanisms
c. equilibrium mechanisms
d. negative feedback mechanisms
e. positive feedback mechanisms

Answer 1

Control mechanisms that lower blood pressure in response to a rapid rise in blood pressure are called negative feedback mechanisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Control mechanisms that lower blood pressure in response to a rapid rise in blood pressure are called negative feedback mechanisms. These mechanisms work to counteract the increase in blood pressure and restore it to normal levels. One example of a negative feedback mechanism involved in blood pressure regulation is the baroreceptor reflex, where baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid arteries detect changes in blood pressure and send signals to the cardiovascular center in the medulla oblongata to initiate the appropriate response to lower blood pressure.
