Question
Chapter 20, Problem 3CAL
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Baroreceptor stimulates the vasomotor center to increase the signal along the sympathetic pathway that extends to a blood vessel (vasoconstriction). This results in an increase the blood flow through the blood vessels.

Why is it necessary to stimulate papillary muscles in the ventricle slightly earlier than the rest of the ventricular wall myocardium?
a. to assure rapid conduction speed of the action potential
b. to pull on AV valve cusps to prevent backflow
c. to assure blood will surge toward the semilunar valves
d. to assure coordinated contraction of the ventricular myocardium
At point A, note that mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) is slightly lowered despite the large fall in cardiac output (CO).
a. Why is CO decreased in response to hemorrhage?
b. How is blood pressure maintained so well despite the fall in CO?
c. What are the afferent receptors (sensors) responsible for this relatively well-maintained blood pressure at point A?
d. What changes in stimuli for these receptors may be contributing to the response at point A?
e. What efferent mechanisms mediate the increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR)?
