∙ 10y agoHeart muscles contracts to make a heart beat. This squeezes the blood through vessels called arteries. The blood in arteries is under pressure. The blood needs to be under pressure so it can reach all parts of the body. This is important, because the blood carries food and oxygen to cells all around the body.

In which part of the circulatory system does the greatest pressure drop occur?
The greatest pressure drop in the circulatory system occurs in the arterioles. Arterioles are small, muscular blood vessels that regulate blood flow and control blood pressure. As blood travels from the arteries to the capillaries, the arterioles cause a significant decrease in pressure to ensure proper exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues.
What organ system does high blood pressure affect?
Circulatory system :)
What helps regulate blood pressure metabolism and reproduction?
The endocrine system are glands that releases hormones into the circulatory system. The circulatory system then carries them into the organs. It regulates blood pressure, metabolism, and reproduction.
What does having a high blood pressure have to do with the circulatory system?
yes it is
What body system does high blood pressure affect?
High Blood Pressure( keyword blood lol) It effects circulatory system(Blood). :D
The pumping organ of the circulatory system is the?
The pumping organ of the circulatory system is the heart. It generates the pressure to move blood through the circulation.
What produces and maintains blood pressure in the circulatory system?
The autonomic nervous system regulates the heart rate and the diameter of the arteries. This is what determines blood pressure.
Is high blood pressure one of the circulatory system diseases?
Yes. You are right.
Which function does the circulatory system share with the heart?
The circulatory system and the heart work together to maintain blood pressure within a normal range of values
What body system does highblood pressure affect?
The circulatory system, the one that pumps blood around in your body.
What system of the human body is made of blood?
Well,circulatory system is made up of BLOOD and heart.
Do birds have single or double circulatory systems?
In a single circulatory system blood is pumped from the heart to the gas exchange organ and the to the rest of the body. In a single circulatory system low blood pressure is maintained. Blood travels to organs more slowly. In a double circulatory system blood is pumped from the heart to the gas exchange organ and again to the heart and from the heart the blood is pumped to the rest of the body. In a double circulatory system high blood pressure is maintained as blood must be pumped at a faster rate to the parts of the body. blood travels more faster to organs Animals with single circulatory systems, e.g:Fish Animals with double circulatory systems, e.g:Humans
