What happens during inspiration in relation to intrathoracic pressure (ITP)?
A) ITP increases, leading to decreased venous return
B) ITP decreases, leading to increased venous return
C) ITP remains constant, leading to no change in venous return
D) ITP increases, leading to increased blood pressure
E) ITP decreases, leading to decreased blood pressure
Explanation: During inspiration, the intrathoracic pressure becomes negative, which increases venous return and subsequently activates baroreceptors, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
