121.  Increased pressure in the aortic arch will activate the aortic arch reflex and cause  
A.  a decrease in the frequency of action potentials from the aortic baroreceptors.
B.  increased parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.
C.  vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels increasing the blood pressure.
D.  increased ADH secretion.

122.  When a person rises quickly from a lying position, there is  
A.  an increase in the frequency of action potentials produced by the baroreceptors.
B.  an increase in vasomotor sympathetic stimulation to the blood vessels causing vasoconstriction.
C.  reflexive slowing of the heart.
D.  an increase of parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.
E.  a decrease in heart rate and stroke volume.

123.  Peripheral chemoreceptors

124.  The chemoreceptor reflexes help maintain homeostasis  
A.  under normal conditions.
B.  when carbon dioxide levels increase.
C.  when stimulated by changes in blood osmotic pressure.

B.  plays an important role in controlling blood pressure under emergency conditions.
C.  is stimulated by a rise in oxygen.
D.  is inhibited by a rise in the level of hydrogen ions.
E.  plays an important role in regulating blood pressure under normal conditions.
