Question Answered step-by-step Read the following scenario related to control of blood pressure…. Read the following scenario related to control of blood pressure. Once you have read it, you will answer questions that help walk you through the steps of bringing blood pressure back to homeostasis.When standing gravity is holding you to the ground and opposes upward movement. This same gravity opposes blood flow above your heart. The blood going to your brain not only has to overcome the resistance in the blood vessels but also must overcome the pull of gravity. This means that the blood pressure for blood going to your brain has to be high enough to counteract the resistance and gravity. When you lay down from a standing position, you are no longer vertical and all organs including your brain are relatively even with your heart. The blood going to the upper part of your body (including your brain) no longer needs to fight gravity, it just needs to fight the resistance from the blood vessels. What this means is that immediately after you lay down the blood pressure for the blood going to your brain is too high. If your body does not adjust the blood pressure, you could end up with damaged blood vessels in your brain, this is detrimental to your health. The questions will walk you through the process your body takes (it occurs automatically and within seconds) to decrease the blood pressure of the blood going to your brain.think about the autonomic nervous system (ANS): Which of the following would you expect to see? Choose All that Applya. increased heart rateb. decreased heart ratec. increased contractility of the heartd. vasoconstrictione. vasodilationf. increased stroke volumeg. decreased stroke volumeh. increased cardiac outputi. decreased cardiac outputj. increased peripheral resistancek. decreased peripheral resistanceanswers about the variables related to blood pressure (BP): What affect do these have on blood pressure (BP)?a. increased blood pressureb. decreased blood pressurec. no change in blood pressure Health Science Science Nursing Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
