no it is a pregnanacy complication characterized by high BP

yes
What are the strategies to reduce maternal cariogenic bacterial load
- Brush 2x perday and fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash (esp. before bed)

- Use of nitrous oxide as LA adjunct
Arterial blood pressure is directly proportional to what two variables
- Cardiac output
- Peripheral vascular resistance
Cardiac output and peripheral resistance are controlled by what two mechanisms
- Baroreflexes (mediated by the SNS)
- Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Which of the two mechanisms are responsible for ra[id changes in BP
baroreflexes (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is for long term BP control)
Caroreceptors are located where in the body that help monitor BP
carotid sinuses and aortic arch
Angiotensinogen is converted to angiotensin I by
renin (peptidase)
Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by
ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)
What is the role of angiotensin II
body’s most potent vasoconstrictor
Decrease in BP leads to (increase/decrease) in renal blood flow…. which leads to the release of….
decrease….renin
