Correct answer: D. Decrease in blood pressure
- A. Increase in heart rate
- B. Decreased vagal discharge
- C. Increased sympathetic discharge
- D. Decrease in blood pressure
Explanation
Baroreceptor stimulation increases vagal activity and inhibits sympathetic activity, reducing heart rate, contractility and vascular resistance. The resulting effect is a fall in arterial blood pressure.
