Long term controls that affect b.p. | Indirect & direct |
Long term control; indirect | renin angiotensin mechanism- raises b.p |
Long term control; direct | urination |
Short term chemical; alcohol | lowers b.p. |
Short term chemical; Prostaglandin derived growth factor(endothelium) | raises b.p. |
Short term chemical; Endothelin(endothelium) | raises b.p. |
Short term chemical; Nitric oxide(endothelium) | lowers b.p. |
Short term neural affect that affect b.p. | vasomotor center, baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, higher brain centers |
Short term chemical affects that affect b.p | adrenal hormone, ANP, ADH, Endothelium (prostaglandin, endothelin,nitric oxide), inflammatory, alcohol |
