An adult man presents with systemic arterial pressure drop from 120/70 to 90/50 mm Hg. This resulted in reflex vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction will be minimal in the following organ:
- A. Liver
- B. Heart
- C. Skin
- D. Bowels
- E. Skeletal muscles
Hint
Consider which organs the body protects when it redistributes blood after a pressure fall, and which of the listed ones the baroreflex spares.
