,There are 3 body mechanisms that maintain blood pressure, they include:
______ located in the arterial wall that stimulate the _____; the _____ system
that is activated when the _____ sense low BP; and the posterior ______ which
senses low perfusion & secretes _____ - ANSWER Baroreceptors located in
the arterial wall that stimulate the SNS (which acts on the heart to increase rate
& activate arterial vasoconstriction)
RAAS system that is activated when the kidneys sense low BP (effect is
increased blood volume & vasoconstriction)
Posterior pituitary gland which senses low perfusion & secretes ADH (which
acts at the nephron to increase water reabsorption that raises blood volume &
BP)
The 3 primary factors that affect blood pressure are _____, _____/_____, &
_______ - ANSWER Blood volume
Peripheral resistance/diameter of arterioles
Cardiac output

Find & treat the cause
Examples: sleep apnea, drug induced, CKD, pheochromacytoma, thyroid
disease
What are some of the primary HTN pathophysiology? - ANSWER Genetics &
Genomics like:
H2O & Na Retention
