A system that delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, and also removes carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from cells - Circulatory System
transport blood back to the heart; serves as a major reservoir for blood
Veins
It is determined by the product of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance
Blood Pressure
These are drugs that accelerate the rate of urine information that results to the removal of sodium and water from the body
Diuretics
Adrenergic Drugs that act on the brain by decreasing NE production
Central Acting
Adrenergic Drugs that acts on the heart and blood vessels
Peripheral Acting
Antihypertensive drug that block binds Angiotensin II to its receptors and primarily affects the vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
An antihypertensive drug that blocks calcium from the excitation-contraction coupling process in heart and vascular smooth muscle cells that results to vasodilation
Calcium Channel Blocker
Anti-Anginal Drugs that dilate all blood vessels via relaxation of smooth muscles esp coronary arteries
Nitrates and Nitrites
An anti-anginal drug that is most effective in the treatment of exertional angina
