Question

Does the circulatory system maintain blood pressure?

Answer 1

Circulatory system :

1. The circulatory system removes wastes from the body and provides nutrition and oxygen to cells

Blood pressure:

1. The amount of pressure that the circulatory system experiences when blood is pushed around the body is referred to as blood pressure.
2. The cardiovascular center in the medulla oblongata controls blood flow and pressure through the nervous system.
3. The network of neurons responds to variations in blood pressure and carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen ions concentrations in the blood.
4. Arterial baroreceptors are responsible for the acute (short-term) control of blood pressure.
5. The ability of arterial baroreceptors to regulate long-term arterial pressure is limited because they adapt to protracted variations in blood pressure.
