A 20-yeаr-оld student stаnds up quickly аfter sitting thrоugh a lоng class. Within seconds, she feels lightheaded and notices that her heart is racing. Her blood pressure is lower than expected, her skin appears slightly pale, and her pupils are mildly dilated. She reports that she drank very little water that day. a. Identify which division of the nervous system is most immediately responsible for responding to this change in blood pressure and briefly describe the general pathway by which the body detects the change and produces a response. (6 pts) b. Explain how this response would affect heart rate, blood vessel tone, and digestive activity. Relate each change to the body’s effort to maintain homeostasis. (10 pts) c. Predict how this patient’s presentation would differ if the body mounted the opposite autonomic response instead of the one most appropriate for this situation. In your answer, describe how heart rate, pupil diameter, and digestive activity would be expected to change. (10 pts)
