Questions and Answers

What is the range of blood pressure that stimulates arterial baroreceptors?

  • 30-150 mmHg
  • 20-80 mmHg
  • 60-180 mmHg (correct)
  • 100-200 mmHg

What happens to the rate of discharge of arterial baroreceptors when blood pressure exceeds 180 mmHg?

  • It fluctuates
  • It remains the same
  • It increases rapidly
  • It decreases (correct)

What type of impulses do atrial receptors discharge during atrial systole?

  • Type C: parasympathetic impulses
  • Type B: excitatory impulses
  • Type D: sympathetic impulses
  • Type A: inhibitory impulses (correct)
