- Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone Made Simple
The body has many systems that work together in order to maintain homeostasis. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway is no different. It has 3 functions: (1) to maintain a proper blood pressure/blood flow, (2) to maintain the right concentration of...
- Homework Blood Pressure
Please write some notes about high and low blood pressure: What are the risks of high and low blood pressureHow can blood pressure be changed, for example how can high blood pressure be reduced?...
- # 44 The Circulatory System - Blood Vessels
The mammalian circulatory system is a closed double circulation, consisting of a heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart produces high pressure --> blood moves through the vessels by mass flow. The mammalian...
