    Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata

    Boehmer’s history of hypertension‚ smoking‚ and coronary artery disease causes myocardial workload to increase‚ contribute to inflammation‚ and neurohumoral changes. At the same time‚ it activates the sympathetic nervous systems (SNS) as well as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)‚ which can lead to ventricular remodeling. The myocardium dilates as the result of myocardial extracellular structure disruptions due to the remodeling. Over time‚ the dilation of the ventricle causes contractility reduction

    glands and kidneys. Angiotensinogen requires conrol. Renin is increased if blood pressure is decreased‚ sensed by the kidneys. More renin increase means an increase in the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. This has to be then converted to angiotensin II by an enzyme which limits angiotensin metabolism. • Thibodeau‚ A‚ Anthony‚ P‚ 1987‚ Anatomy and Physiology‚ 12th edn‚ Time Mirror/Mosby‚ Toronto. 4.

    o The urinary system plays a role in maintaining normal blood pressure by secreting the enzyme renin. One of the important functions of the kidneys is to regulate blood pressure. Healthy kidneys make hormones such as renin and angiotensin. These hormones regulate how much sodium (salt) and fluid the body keeps‚ and how well the blood vessels can expand and contract. This‚ in turn‚ helps control blood pressure. They do this by regulating: • The amount of water in the body. If

    dilute urine. Renin-Angiotesin-Aldosterone System Stimulus for their release = if blood pressure drops dramatically this will trigger renin secretion from the JG cells‚ renin acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I‚ angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II therefore angiotensin II causes mean arterial pressure to rise and stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. As a result‚ both systemic and glomerular hydrostatic pressure rises. Actions (decrease/increase GFR) = the efferent
