Question

You learned that baroreceptors activate the sympathetic nervous system in response to a low blood pressure. The baroreceptor in the carotid arch also responds to high blood pressure by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Given what you know about blood pressure and homeostasis, what might be the effects of parasympathetic activation by baroreceptors?
