Question

1) ACE inhibitors can lower blood pressure because inhibiting ACE

stops the secretion of renin

prevents the formation of angiotensin I

prevents the formation of angiotensis II

increases the secretion of aldosterone

prebents norepinephrine from binding alpha 1 receptors on blood vessels

2) Which statement is NOT true about the sympathetic nerves to the heart?

all of these choices statements are true

3) The cardiovascular center of the brain receives blood pressure and blood pH information from:
1. sympathetic nerves
2. parasympathetic nerves
3. the vagus nerve
4. the glossopharyngeal nerve

4)Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Nerve impulses from aortic baroreceptors travel to the cardiovascular center via the sensory axons of the vagus nerves.

5)Which of the following statements is incorrect?

COPD increases airway resistance.

6) Loss of vagus nerve function would cause partial loss of enteric nervous system regulation? True or False

7) Which of the following is/are most likely to be part of the gastrointestinal reflex pathway?
1. stretch receptors
2. neurons of the autonomic nervous system
3. muscle fibers of the transversus abdominus

Explanation / Answer

1. prevents the formation of angiotensin-II

2. All of the choice statements are true

3. Glossopharyngeal nerve. This nerve carries information about blood pressure in the cardiac center to the medulla oblongata of the brain.

4. The carotid sinus reflex helps to regulate blood pressure in the brain while the aortic reflex regulates systemic blood pressure

5. COPD decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 sec

6. True. Enteric nervous system described as second brain. Vagus nerve act as a central data switch board.
