Describe the neural mechanisms responsible for controlling blood pressure.

Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video to the nervous system which activates the fight or flight response by releasing adrenaline. And phrag is there as answer choice A we have the parasympathetic nervous system B the nervous system, see the sympathetic nervous system D the somatic nervous system, let's go over each of these answer choices so that we may solve this problem. First of all, we have a which is the parasympathetic nervous system. Now, this parasympathetic nervous system is usually going to be dealing with slowing down heart rate and relaxation. It is not going to be involved with this adrenaline based used fight or flight response. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have B which is the enteric nervous system. This entire nervous system is going to be regulating digestive functions. So much like the parasympathetic nervous system, it's all about just lowing heart rate and just relaxing. Therefore, we can also cancel it out. Then we have the which is the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is going to control voluntary muscle movements. This is not going to involve the fight or flight response to our bodies. So we're also going to cancel it out. And finally, we have, which is the sympathetic nervous system. Now, the sympathetic nervous system plays a primary role in controlling blood pressure and it is responsible for the fight or flight response, which is created by this release of adrenaline and nene frame, which are going to increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels and elevate blood pressure. So this is going to make us be at the edge of this fight or flight response. And this is all created like we said via this sympathetic nervous system. So we can highlight answer choice c sympathetic nervous system as the final answer to our question, I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
