Clamping of the carotid aeries below (proximal) the carotid sinus is likely to produce:
Ans. a. Increase in vasomotor centre activityClamping of the carotid aeries proximal to the carotid sinus elevates the blood pressure and hea rate because the procedure lowers the pressure in the carotid sinus (Baroreceptor reflex
Increase in vasomotor centre activity
Increase in discharge of carotid sinus afferent nerves
Decreased hea rate and blood pressure
Baroreceptor adaptation
