Which of the following is NOT a potential cause of excessive vasodilation? A) Decreased blood pH B) Abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system C) Medications for hypertension D) Increased blood volume
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which option does not represent a potential cause of excessive vasodilation. It requires understanding various physiological responses and mechanisms related to blood flow regulation.
Answer
Increased blood volume
Increased blood volume is NOT a potential cause of excessive vasodilation.
Answer for screen readers
Increased blood volume is NOT a potential cause of excessive vasodilation.
More Information
Excessive vasodilation can be caused by decreased blood pH, abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system, and medications for hypertension, but not by increased blood volume. Increased blood volume usually causes vasoconstriction to regulate blood pressure.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that anything affecting blood or the cardiovascular system can cause vasodilation. It's important to differentiate between factors that cause dilation versus constriction.
