Scenario: A patient arrives at the clinic complaining of an increased heart rate and is feeling some nausea. Multiple tests are performed and an ECG reveals that the patient has abnormal P waves and an unusually fast heart rate. Their blood pressure is also found to be high. Question Stem: It is noted that the patient's blood pressure is high. Which of the following might help bring it down? Answers A -D A Agreater sympathetic response B Increasing preload C Decreasing total peripheral resistance D Activation of the RAAS cascade

Figure 35.26 Which of the following statements is false? The parasympathetic pathway is responsible for relaxing the body, while the sympathetic pathway is responsible for preparing for an emergency. Most preganglionic neurons in the sympathetic pathway originate in the spinal cord. Slowing of the heartbeat is a parasympathetic response. Parasympathetic neurons are responsible for releasing norepinephrine on the target organ, while sympathetic neurons are responsible for releasing acetylcholine.
