Question

question 4 of 10
which of the following will decrease systemic blood pressure?
baroreceptors decreasing the heart rate.
release of aldosterone causing sodium reabsorption.
release of angiotensin causing vasoconstriction.
release of adh causing water reabsorption.

Explanation:

Baroreceptors detecting high blood - pressure can decrease heart rate. A lower heart rate reduces the amount of blood pumped per minute, thus decreasing systemic blood pressure. Aldosterone release causes sodium reabsorption which increases blood volume and pressure. Angiotensin causes vasoconstriction which increases blood pressure. ADH release causing water reabsorption increases blood volume and pressure.

Answer:

Baroreceptors decreasing the heart rate.
