Regarding endocrine processes in cardiovascular regulation, long-term adjustments

A) involve sympathetic responses that adjust cardiac output and peripheral resistance to stabilize blood pressure and blood flow to tissues.
B) involve alterations in blood volume that affect cardiac output and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from active tissues.
C) cause immediate, localized homeostatic adjustments.
D) drastically alter blood pressure and blood flow to vital organs.
E) involve the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medullae, which stimulate cardiac output and peripheral vasoconstriction.
