Blood Pressure Regulation

Blood pressure regulation is the process by which the body maintains the pressure of blood in the arteries. It involves the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. When blood pressure is too high, the body can signal the heart to slow down or the vessels to widen, while the kidneys help remove excess fluid. When it’s too low, the heart can beat faster, and blood vessels can constrict to increase pressure. Hormones, such as adrenaline and renin, also play a role. This delicate balance ensures that all organs receive enough blood to function properly.
