Blood pressure is a pressure under which the force of blood pressurizes the wall of arteries to the body is called as blood pressure. If this pressure rises and stays high for a longer period of time then, it can damage the body in many ways.

High blood pressure is a serious condition wherein it can lead to coronary disease, Heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and other health related can occur to the person suffering from high blood pressure. It is named as a " silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms.

Normal blood pressure is 120 systolic and 80 diastolic - this is average population. You can get more explanation in the following article:

Blood pressure.


What is the typical change in blood pressure with increased intracranial pressure?

Increased intracranial pressure can lead to changes in blood pressure due to the body's compensatory mechanisms. Typically, there is an initial increase in blood pressure in response to increased intracranial pressure to maintain cerebral perfusion. However, as intracranial pressure continues to rise, blood pressure may decrease due to impaired cerebral autoregulation and compromised blood flow to the brain. Overall, the relationship between intracranial pressure and blood pressure is complex and can vary depending on individual factors and the underlying cause of increased intracranial pressure.


Anticipated effect on blood pressure and the physiological basis of the response to high-salt diet?

Increased blood pressure. This is due to increased sodium in the blood, increasing the total extracellular fluid volume


Would increased water retention lead to increased blood pressure?

It will absolutely raise your blood pressure because sodium constricts veins & vessels your heart needs to use more pressure to force blood flow.


Does increased parasympathetic activity cause blood pressure to increase?

no


Sympathetic division stimulation causes?

Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.


Increased blood pressure in the glomerulus?

Blood pressure in the glomerulus in very high. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!! :D


Why does salt affect blood pressure?

Salt affects blood pressure because it can cause the body to retain water, leading to an increase in blood volume. This increased blood volume puts more pressure on the walls of the blood vessels, resulting in higher blood pressure.


Why cold water could bring blood pressure down?

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.


Is your blood pressure higher after exercise?

Yes, blood pressure can be higher after exercise due to the increased demand on the heart and blood vessels during physical activity.


Does Excess protein production decrease blood pressure?

Yes, because blood viscosity is increased.


Does your blood pressure drop during a cluster headache or raise?

During a cluster headache attack, it is more likely to see increased blood pressure than decreased blood pressure. The pain and anxiety of an attack causes a physiological response that results in stress and increased BP.
