- A doctor tells her nursing students that it is important to monitor patients' blood pressure when they are receiving fluoroxinol (a medication that blocks calcium channels). Use your understanding of the role calcium plays in the heart to explain why fluoroxinol might affect a patient’s blood pressure.arrow_forwardanatomy: write summary about veins and nerves of the heartarrow_forwardImagine two iguanas are in a fight and one iguana gets a cut. This cut leads to a loss of blood resulting in a drop in blood pressure, which could be life-threatening if not corrected. As a result, blood pressure sensors in the heart and some arteries detect the drop in pressure and send signals to the brain. Next, the brain stimulates the release of certain hormones into the blood. The result is that the heart beats more rapidly and raises the blood pressure of the injured iguana back to normal (or to the set point). This is an example of: A. positive feedback loop and homeostasis B. positive feedback loop and lack of homeostasis C. negative feedback loop and homeostasis D. negative feedback loop and lack of homeostasisarrow_forward
