Blood Pressure Increases with All of the Following Except Increased

Question

Blood pressure increases with all of the following except increased
A) cardiac output.
B) peripheral resistance.
C) blood volume.
D) parasympathetic innervation.
E) force of cardiac contraction.

Accepted Answer

Parasympathetic innervation typically causes a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, so an increase in parasympathetic innervation would not result in an increase in blood pressure. The other choices (A, B, C, and E) can all contribute to an increase in blood pressure.
