Question
Stimulation of arterial baroreceptors leads to all of these except;a. inhibition of the vasomotor centers.b. stimulation of the respiratory center.c. inhibition of secretion of antidiuretic hormone.d. slowing of the heart rate.e. inhibition of adrenaline secreting center
Solution
The correct answer is b. Stimulation of the respiratory center.
Here's why:
a. Stimulation of arterial baroreceptors does lead to inhibition of the vasomotor centers. This is because the baroreceptors sense changes in blood pressure and send signals to the vasomotor centers to adjust accordingly.
b. Stimulation of the arterial baroreceptors does not lead to stimulation of the respiratory center. The respiratory center is primarily influenced by levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, not blood pressure.
c. Stimulation of arterial baroreceptors does lead to inhibition of secretion of antidiuretic hormone. This is because when blood pressure is high, the body doesn't need to retain as much water, so it inhibits the secretion of antidiuretic hormone.
d. Stimulation of arterial baroreceptors does lead to slowing of the heart rate. This is a reflex response to high blood pressure.
e. Stimulation of arterial baroreceptors does lead to inhibition of adrenaline secreting center. This is because adrenaline (or epinephrine) increases heart rate and blood pressure, so when blood pressure is already high, the body inhibits its secretion.
