Blood Pressure is lowered by:
A.Decreasing sympathetic activity.
B. Decreasing parasympathetic activity.
C. Increasing parasympathetic activity.
D. Increasing parasympathetic activity.
Autonomic nervous system is mainly divided into two parts sympathetic(SNS) and parasympathetic(PNS). Both of them originate from spinal cord. Both of them have huge influence on physiological activities like digestion urination and circulation. Both of them have pre ganglionic and post ganglionic neurons.
SNS originates from cranial thoracic and lumbar region and prepares the body for intense physical work hence excitory effect on homeostasis. While PNS originates from cranial and sacral region and mainly helps in relaxing the body and helps in inhibiting high energy function hence have inhibitory effect on homeostasis.
If we increase the activity of parasympathetic nervous system then it will lead to decrease in cardiac output which in turn will decrease the heart rate and eventually it will cause blood pressure to decrease.
Hence option c is correct.
Blood Pressure is lowered by: A.Decreasing sympathetic activity. B. Decreasing parasympathetic activity. C. Increasing parasympathetic activity....
Ted's heart rate is increasing; his respiratory rate is increasing, and his blood pressure is increasing. His digestive activity is slowing. More of his blood is now flowing to his brain and skeletal muscles, and less to his digestive organs. These changes are occurring because neurons of the ________ division of his ANS have increased their activity: Group of answer choices afferent parasympathetic sympathetic somatic

The immune system combats diseases by decreasing the flow of blood cells, and natural chemicals to the damaged area, causing the redness, sweling, and warmth that characterize inflammation Ob by producing red blood cells, which engulf and kill pathogens oc by inhibiting endocrine and sympathetic activity od by generating antibodies, which attach themselves to antigens, deactivating them and marking them for destruction QUESTION 2 In the exhaustion stage of the general adaptation syndrome, the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous...
