A short-term physical load resulted in reflex increase of heart rate and systemic arterial pressure in a person. What receptor activation was the most contributory to inducing the pressor reflex?
- A. Vascular volume receptors
- B. Vascular baroreceptors
- C. Proprioceptors of the working muscles
- D. Vascular chemoreceptors
- E. Hypothalamic thermoreceptors
Hint
Think about which sensory input is triggered by the movement itself, early in the effort, and tends to raise blood pressure rather than restrain it.
