windkessel effect
A
bulging of the walls to keep pressure from going sky high or really low
7

A
the amount of blood that passes per time unit

MAP is affected by
A
driving force, reservoir and conten (blood volume)
11
Q
autoregulation
A
local control loop keeping pressure relatively constant
12
Q
autocoids
A
local control loop, locally secreted substances causing vasoconstriction/vasodilation

RAAS
A
controls blood vessel diameter, regulates volume
