What directs blood away from the nonessential vascular beds of the periphery back to core perfusion?
  1. Positive Feedback System
  2. Neutral Feedback System
  3. Negative Feedback System
  4. Aggressive Feedback System
Explanation
Answer - C - A negative feedback system directs blood away from the nonessential vascular beds of the periphery back to core perfusion. A negative feedback system for shock patients is closure of precapillary sphincters. This will direct blood away from the nonessential vascular beds of the periphery back to core perfusion. This effectively decreases the size of the vascular “container,” which brings the amount to normal proportions.
