Why would a drop in the oxygen content of the blood stream cause an increase in the patient's blood pressure?
A) Parasympathetic stimulation of the pulmonary system improves oxygen on-loading to the red blood cells passing through the alveoli

C) Vasoconstriction caused by the parasympathetic nervous system causes oxygenated blood to be shunted from the peripheral capillary beds and to the brain

B) Sympathetic stimulation of the cardiovascular system improves oxygen delivery to the brain and tissues
