Explain the effect of increased blood pressure on the impulses sent to the brain, the effect on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and the resulting change in blood pressure.

An increase in blood pressure results in an increase in impulses sent to the brain. This increase stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (SNV not stimulated) resulting in a drop in blood pressure

As a result of these changes in the PNS and SNS, list two effects on the heart and one on blood vessels..



(an increase in blood pressure results in an increase in impulses sent to the brain. This increase stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (SNV not stimulated) resulting in a drop of blood pressure).

Heart: heart rate decreases


Cardiac output decreases


Blood vessel: vasodilation ( increased arterial diameter due to relaxation of smooth muscle)

Explain the effect of decrease blood pressure on the impulses sent to the brain, the effect of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and the resulting change in blood pressure

Decrease on BP results in decrease in impulses sent to the brain. This stimulates the sympathetic nervous system (PNS not stimulated) causing an increase in BP
