C) noradrenaline binds to alpha receptors and stimulates peripheral vasoconstriction, increasing TPR (increases workload on heart!) D) This is sensed by baroreceptors. E) noradrenaline also binds to beta receptors on heart myocardium to increase force and rate of contraction (also increases workload of heart!). F) baroreceptor reflex to brain results in increased sympathetic release of noradrenaline.

  8. fluid conservation in heart failure (caused by activation of RAAS and ADH due to low BP and baroreceptor reflex) leads to increased blood volume , favours oedema formation as fluid forced out into interstitium.
  9. in heart failure due to eccentric and concentric hypertrophy, ____ ____ often increases due to increased sympathetic stimulation of SA node. Ths is to try and maintain CO in the face of a reduced SV. In short term helps compensate ,but longer term places further strain on myocardium and can lead to potentially fatal arrhythmias.
