Overview
For the Week 3 discussion forum, you will answer the following questions using your critical thinking and reasoning skills:
- Common side effects for someone experiencing shock include a weak pulse, pale skin, cool skin, and tachycardia. Explain the physiological basis for each of these signs.
- Why is it advantageous to have baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinus rather than in some other location?
- It is a common, untrained assumption that systolic blood pressure should be 100 plus a person's age. Discuss the validity of this statement.
Please have a 50 word response at least.
Please respond to two student replies with at least 50 words as well. Will post part 2 after part 1 as I cannot access part 2 until Part 1 is submitted.
