Hormonal Regulators Of BP Flashcards
causing vasoconstriction, stimulating thirst, decreasing urine formation are ways that the hormone ___________ increases blood pressure
Angiotensin 2
____________ helps maintain blood volume and pressure, released from adrenal cortex, triggered by Angiotensin II and several other stimuli
aldosterone
_________ increases absorption of water in the kidneys and decreases urine output.
aldosterone
released from the posterior pituitary this hormone helps maintain and elevate blood pressure
antidiuretic hormone
this hormone is also known as vasopressin because in large amounts it causes vasoconstriction it also stimulates the thirst Center and increases water absorption
antidiuretic hormone
what are hormonal Regulators of blood pressure
Angiotensin 2 antidiuretic hormone antidiuretic hormone aldosterone atrial natriuretic peptide norepinephrine epinephrine
what happens in the renin-angiotensin system?
liver- angiotensinogen
kidney- renin- converts angiotensinogen to AG 1
AG 1 converted to AG 2 be ACE
ACE released by capillary walls ESP. in lungs
atrial natriuretic peptide does what to blood pressure?
decreases blood pressure
antidiuretic hormone does what to blood pressure?
how to maintain and elevate blood pressure
this hormone is released from atria when walls are stretched by blood volume, simulates vasodilation comma increased urine output
atrial natriuretic peptide
sphygmomanometer is used to measure?
blood pressure
the top number on a blood pressure score is?
systolic pressure, bottom number diastolic pressure
__________ chronically elevated blood pressure systolic 140, diastolic 90
hypertension
atherosclerosis may be more likely, May 2nd arterial walls ( arteriosclerosis), may cause heart failure: __________
hypertension
__________: chronically low blood pressure symptoms of fatigue dizziness and fainting. systolic blood pressure less than 90, diastolic blood pressure less than 60
hypertension
