Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compensatory measures for a fall in arterial blood pressure include increased cardiac output and increased total peripheral resistance as a result of the baroreceptor reflex, as well as a reduction in the urinary excretion of salt and accompanying fluid to maintain fluid volume. However, there is no shift of fluid out of the vasculature into the interstitial compartment as a compensatory measure.
