Arterial Blood Pressure Regulation Mechanisms and Long-Term Control
Learn about the short-term and long-term regulation of arterial blood pressure through baroreceptor mechanisms and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Explore the role of carotid sinus, low-pressure receptors, and chemoreceptors in maintaining blood pressure stability.

Regulation of the arterial BP short term regulation Works within seconds or minutes baroreceptor mechanism Works within hours, days ,weeks or years the rennin angiotensin- Aldosteron system long-term regulation
Baroreceptor mechanism Baroreceptors high pressure receptors Low pressure receptors Right atria Left atria pulmonary veins carotid sinus aortic arch
carotid body Int carotid A Ext carotid A carotid sinus Common carotid A Aortic body Aortic arch
Mechanism of transduction AP Stretch receptor stretch activated Na channels
Reflexes initiated by stretching of the baroreceptors NTS Medulla oblongata VMC CIC CEC
