When your extremities are exposed to cold temperatures the body protects core temperature by cutting off blood circulation to that limb. This decrease in blood circulation to the area causes increased respiratory rate, increased muscular tension which leads to shivering, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.

How does blood pressure make blood move though the various regions of the cardiovascular system?
Blood pressure is the actual pressure of blood traveling in the arteries of the body. Blood pressure is caused by the force of a pump (the heart) pumping blood into the arteries which have tight walls. The pressure of the blood results in the blood circulating just as water pressure will result in water circulating to any pipes attached to a water pump. When a person has very low blood pressure the blood does not circulate much and the person is said to be "in shock." When a person has no blood pressure the blood does not circulate at all and the person is dead.

Can different temperatures of water lower your blood pressure?
Yes. The hotter the water,the higher your blood pressure and vice verser xx
What would happen to blood volume and blood pressure if water and salts were not reabsorbed?
since there were no enough water and salts reabsored, there woulnd't be enough blood volume, and blood pressure will be decreased.
Person with high blood pressure and low sodium?
It seems to be a general perception that high salt intake causes high blood pressure (hypertension). And, there are some people who are considered sodium sensitive. For them high blood pressure could be the result of too much dietary intake. However, there are also several other possible causes. Similarly, low sodium level could be the result of several conditions, ranging from too much water intake (water intoxication) to serious diseases, in which the two conditions (high blood pressure and low sodium level) could exist simultaneously.
Why do you think diurectis are often prescribed as a treatment for high blood pressure?
Water creates pressure when it is present in the body. Lowering the amount of water in the blood through diuretics lowers blood pressure. Think of a garden hose with water running through it. If you shut off the end where the spout is, the pressure will increase in the hose, if you open it an let the water run out, the pressure inside the hose will drop. The same principle works in your body. If you have less water in it, by urinating more, your blood pressure would drop.
