OPTION 2: CARDIO/RENAL/RESPIRATORY ESSAY (BOTH A AND B ARE REQUIRED for full credit) PRESSURE regulation: Describe how POOR CARDIAC OUTPUT could lead to: Activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Then

OPTION 2: CARDIO/RENAL/RESPIRATORY ESSAY (BOTH A AND B ARE REQUIRED for full credit) PRESSURE regulation: Describe how POOR CARDIAC OUTPUT could lead to: Activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Then describe the cardiovascular response to sympathetic nervous system activation. Be specific. Increased sodium reabsorption at the kidney.  Be specific about locations and mechanisms. You will need to discuss: relevant baroreceptor function, renin-angiotensin aldosterone system function, specific regions of the nephron pH regulation: Describe the specific mechanisms by which respiratory and renal physiology utilize CARBONIC ANHYDRASE to regulate BLOOD pH. You will need to: describe the full equation, the relevant locations in which it occurs, the mechanisms of regulation, and the impact on blood pH
