If blood pressure is increased at the arterial baroreceptors, what would happen with the activity level of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS)?

PNS and SNS

Step-by-step explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)

  • In the event that the blood pressure is increased because of any explanation, it is detected by the baroreceptor system
  • The baroreceptor reflex invigorates is the part of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • The PSNS causes reflation of veins, decreasing total peripheral resistance. It also decrease the heart rate

Sympathetic nervous system (SNS)

  • Heart rate and blood volume are regulated by the interrelated activities of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
  • The SNS is improperly dynamic in obesity and hypertension and plays a causal or permissive role in all types of chronic hypertension
