Which of the Following is a Consequence of Sympathetic Nerve

Question

Which of the following is a consequence of sympathetic nerve stimulation?
A) Increased afterload
B) Peripheral vasoconstriction
C) Increased systemic vascular resistance
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

When sympathetic nerves are stimulated, it leads to several physiological effects such as increased afterload (A) by increasing the resistance against which the heart has to pump blood, peripheral vasoconstriction (B) which narrows blood vessels, and increased systemic vascular resistance (C) by causing an overall increase in the resistance of the blood vessels throughout the body. Therefore, all of the given options are consequences of sympathetic nerve stimulation.
