how blood pressure is maintained.

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Hint
Answer
blood pressure control   blood pressure is controlled by vasoconstriction/vasodilation/baroreceptors and the RAA aldosterone negitive feedback loop  
🗑
baroreceptors   found in the arch of the aorta and the cartoid bodies  
🗑
a drop in blood pressure   is detected by the baroreceptors  
🗑
the baroreceptors   send a message to the cardiovascular centre in the brain (MEDULLA OBLONGATA)  
🗑
these messages   cause an increase in sympathetic activity causing the heart to speed up  
🗑
heart speeds up   vasoconstriction occurs and blood pressure will be raised  
🗑
RAA &aldosterone (adh)   RENIN ANGIOTENTIN ALDOSTERONE MECHANISM  
🗑
decreased BP   detected by the aterial pressure in the kidney  
🗑
baroreceptors in the JGA juxtaglomerula apparatus in the kidney   secrete renin into the blood  
🗑
renin converts   angiotensinogen to angiotentsin 1  
🗑
angiotenstin 1 turns to   angiotensin 2  
🗑
this causes 2 things to happen   vasoconstriction in the ateries of the kidney to maintain normal pressure in the kidney  
🗑
and secondly   angiotensin 2 stimulates the adrenal cortex to increase aldosterone secretion by the adrenal gland  
🗑
= more sodium and therfore more water are   reabsorbed into the blood  
🗑
causing   an increase in blood volume  
🗑
therefore   blood pressure will increase  
🗑
ADH=   anti duiretic hormone  
🗑
reduced blood volume   detected by osmoreceptors in the posterior pituritary gland  
🗑
posterior pituritary   releases an increased ammount of ADH  
🗑
causing   an increased permiability in the distal convoluted tubule in the kidney therefore blood volume will increase therefore blood pressure will increase.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
