Which of the following is NOT directly involved in the regulation of systemic blood pressure?

  1. Vascular resistance
  2. Release of renin
  3. Increase in portal vein pressure
  4. Stroke volume and heart rate
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Increase in portal vein pressure

Portal vein pressure is not directly involved in systemic blood pressure regulation. Blood pressure is controlled by mechanisms such as vascular resistance, renin release, and cardiac output (stroke volume × heart rate).
