Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased activity of baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid arteries results in inhibition of sympathetic nervous system signaling to arteries and arterioles, slowing of the heart, dilation of arterioles in peripheral tissues, and reduction in blood pressure. There is no effect on parasympathetic signaling to the heart's pacemaker.
