Sample Question
Patient presents after gunshot. He has hypotension, tachycardia, and appears pale. What is the arterial baroreceptor firing rate in this patient? What about pulmonary vascular resistance, total peripheral resistance, and systemic capillary fluid transfer?

Arterial baroreceptor firing rate is normal. Pulmonary vascular resistance, total peripheral resistance, and systemic capillary fluid transfer are all decreased.

*Now most important value here to understand is Arterial barorceptor firing rate which is Decreased in our patient(In Hemorrhagic shock), because Baroreceptors are STRETCH receptors thus when you reduce the blood that circulates in vessels there will be less stretch and thus less baroreceptor firing, response of body to decreased baroreceptor firing is Increase in Efferent sympathetic firing and decrease in Efferent Parasympathetic firing that will lead to increased HR,Contractility to try and increase BP somehow, increased sympathetic tone /along with activation of RAAS in response to fluid loss will increase TPR,activation of RAAS will tilt systemic capillary fluid transfer in favor to ABSORBTION(Not filtration) to maintain alveolar O2 Pulmonary vascular resistance will also increase.

Arterial baroreceptor firing rate is increased. Pulmonary vascular resistance, total peripheral resistance, and systemic capillary fluid transfer are all decreased.

Arterial baroreceptor firing rate is decreased. Pulmonary vascular resistance, total peripheral resistance, and systemic capillary fluid transfer are all decreased.
