Explain how the sympathetic nervous system acts to directly regulate stroke volume. Include a detailed description of the mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate). What effect does this have on cardiac output. This will take about half a page to describe.

In a study women were identified who had been diagnosed with
Cervical Cancer through the Cancer Registry. Women with skin cancer
were used as controls. The study then received past medical
histories on HPV status, which was collected through an outstanding
health department. (And they somehow had access to these records
and could link them.)

Cancer) Total

How does the renal and endocrine system play a role in getting tissues oxygenated? Or in other words, how does the renal and endocrine system help maintain homeostasis through the oxygenation of tissues? Consider how tissue oxygenation goes up or down and how each system makes/contributes to a change that helps maintain homeostasis.
Thanks in advance!
