Which reflex responds rapidly to acute blood-pressure change?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

D. Baroreceptor reflex

This item reviews Blood pressure; Baroreceptor reflex is the best answer because it directly fits the anatomical or physiological relationship described.

Option by option

  • A. Thyroid feedback

    Thyroid feedback does not match the stated relationship.

  • B. Bone remodeling

    Bone remodeling is not supported by the key finding.

  • C. Erythropoiesis

    Erythropoiesis is plausible but is not the best answer.

  • D. Baroreceptor reflex (correct)

    Correct. Baroreceptor reflex matches the defining feature.
