When blood pressure increases, a number of events occur that return blood pressure to normal. Which of the following is one of the events that occurs after an increase in blood pressure?

A) Baroreceptors are stimulated.
B) Action potential frequency to the cardioregulatory center of brain decreases.
C) Sympathetic stimulation of the heart increases.
D) Heart rate increases.
E) An increase in number of action potentials in the cardiac nerve

Baroreceptors

Sensory nerve endings found in the walls of arteries and the heart that sense changes in blood pressure.

Blood Pressure

The force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, often measured as an indicator of heart health.

Cardioregulatory Center

A region of the brain, specifically in the medulla oblongata, that regulates heart rate and blood pressure by coordinating the autonomic nervous and the cardiovascular systems.
