Question

multiple choice question
which term refers to the feedback response to blood pressure changes?
baroreflex
sympathetic tone
angiogenesis
chemoreflex

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Baroreflex: It's a feedback mechanism that responds to blood pressure changes (baro - related to pressure).
• Sympathetic tone: Refers to the baseline activity of the sympathetic nervous system, not specific to blood pressure feedback.
• Angiogenesis: Is the formation of new blood vessels, unrelated to blood pressure feedback.
• Chemoreflex: Responds to chemical changes (like in blood gases), not blood pressure.

So the correct term is Baroreflex.

Answer:

A. Baroreflex
