Solution

The correct answer is b. Decreased venous compliance.

Here's why:

Baroreceptors are sensors located in the blood vessels of the body. They detect changes in blood pressure and send signals to the brain to help regulate the body's response to these changes.

When baroreceptors detect an increase in mean arterial pressure, the body responds in several ways to try and lower this pressure:

a. Decreased heart rate: The

Which of the following statements about the baroreceptor reflex control of blood pressure is INCORRECT?Group of answer choicesBaroreceptors are stretch receptors that detect distension of the vascular walls in which they are located.Changes in arterial pressure are primarily detected by baroreceptors located in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch.An increase in arterial pressure raises the firing rate of afferent baroreceptor nerves.A decrease in arterial pressure is likely to result in decreased sympathetic activation and increased parasympathetic activation of the sinoatrial node.
