Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The bainbridge reflex is also known as the low pressure reflex. The receptors are located in the right atrium. It censors central venous pressure. When there is an increase of stimuli, the sympathetic system increases its activity and as a result increases heart rate. The increase of heart rate produces a decrease of the central venous pressure because more blood is pumping.
