How does the human body regulate blood pressure?

Answer 1

Blood pressure can change by eather the heart moving more blood (beating harder or faster) or by constricting or dialating blood vessels or adding or removing fluid.

Ayraayra: I agree and would like to add that there are baroreceptors in the body that monitor blood pressure when they sense an increase or decrease in bp they relay the message to the CNS.

Answer 2

As the diameter of the arteries becomes narrower, the pressure increases. The artery walls are made of muscle which allows them to narrow or widen depending on the demand on the body.

There are certain things that can increase blood pressure such as atherosclerosis which is the same as hardening of the arteries. This happens as cholesterol builds up on the walls of the arteries.

Also, too much salt intake can raise the blood pressure.

Answer 3

Blood pressure is influenced by physiological factors, such as diet, exercise, disease, drugs or alcohol, obesity, excess weight and so-forth.

The heart rate, volume of blood (or amount), resistance (like pushing on your arm), and viscosity (thickness of blood) will affect the blood pressure of a person.

Answer 4

hello

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure (force per unit area) exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as it moves away from the heart through arteries and capillaries, and toward the heart through veins. When unqualified, the term blood pressure usually refers to brachial arterial pressure: that is, in the major blood vessel of the upper left or right arm that takes blood away from the heart. Blood pressure may, however, sometimes be measured at other sites in the body, for instance at the ankle. The ratio of the blood pressure measured in the main artery at the ankle to the brachial blood pressure gives the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI).

here is the chart that defines all levels of human blood pressure

210 - 120 - Stage 4 High Blood Pressure

180 - 110 - Stage 3 High Blood Pressure

160 - 100 - Stage 2 High Blood Pressure

140 - 90 - Stage 1 High Blood Pressure

140 - 90 - BORDERLINE HIGH

130 - 85 - High Normal

120 - 80 - NORMAL Blood Pressure

110 - 75 - Low Normal

90 - 60 - BORDERLINE LOW

60 - 40 - TOO LOW Blood Pressure

50 - 33 - DANGER Blood Pressure

LOW Blood Pressure Symptoms -

Weak, Tired, Dizzy, Fainting, Coma

! Good Luck!
