What are the two types of fibres that respond to stretching of the artery?
Back
Card 8
Front
True or false: at normal pressures, A fibres are all activated?
Back
Card 9
Front
True or false: firing of A and C fibres will increase parasympathetic NS stimulation?
Back
Card 10
Front
True or false: the Vagus nerve is part of the sympathetic nervous system?
Back
Card 11
Front
At normal pressures, ~25% of C fibres are firing. If blood pressure increases, will the number of firing C fibres increase or decrease?
Back
Card 12
Front
A decrease in blood pressure will cause a decrease in baroreceptor firing. Once the CNS has registerested this, what will happen to the firing of the PNS and SNS nerves?
Back
Card 13
Front
True or false: Increased SNS firing would increase total peripheral resistance?
Back
Card 14
Front
True or false: Blood pressure is an example of a continuous variable?
Back
Card 15
