The central nervous system ischemic response

A) is triggered by an increase in blood flow to the vasomotor center.
B) plays an important role in controlling blood pressure under emergency conditions.
C) is stimulated by a rise in O₂.
D) is inhibited by a rise in the level of H⁺.
E) plays an important role in regulating blood pressure under normal conditions.

Ischemic Response

A physiological reaction to reduced blood supply to tissues, leading to a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism.

Vasomotor Center

A regulatory area in the medulla oblongata of the brain responsible for controlling blood vessel diameter and thus blood pressure.

Blood Pressure

The force exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, often measured to assess heart and vascular health.
