Q

what does blood pressure do

A

It moves whole blood from the heart to capillaries where filtration can occur to exchange water, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the tissues.

A

thirst mechanism

36
Q

what is the feeling of thirst caused by

A

the activation of cells in the brain that respond to changes in ECG osmolarity.

37
Q
