Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased sympathetic tone typically leads to peripheral vasoconstriction and an increase in systemic blood pressure. It can also increase cardiac output and produce venoconstriction of blood reservoirs. However, it does not directly affect the glomerular filtration rate. In fact, high levels of sympathetic activity can decrease renal blood flow and decrease the glomerular filtration rate.
