How is Blood pressure regulated? What are the negative effects of hypertension (high blood pressure).
When it comes to Blood Pressure Regulation, there are two main factors that need to be taken into consideration: Cardiac Output and Peripheral Resistance. That’s what’s covered in this video.
It is “simple” – anything that affects Cardiac Output and/or Peripheral resistance will also affect Blood pressure. Why? Because BP = CO * PR.
So we are looking at things like the Venous return, stroke volume, heart rate, sympathetic stimulation, parasympathetic stimulation, vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Those are factors that influence blood pressure significantly.
If any of those terms seem unclear to you, not to worry. You have the video above to help you navigate the beauty of the normal regulatory processes that these amazing bodies have, and also what happens when things don’t function the way they are supposed to.
You will also receive a little bit of info related to nutrition and how that can influence what’s going on in the awesome Cardiovascular system. Watch and Enjoy!

Superb lecture, well done¬ John
Awesome stuff, – Les
Thanks you for putting it so simply. This really helps for studying for my mid year nursing exams.
Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Leanne
As always, an easy way to understand difficult things…..thank you so much!!
Beautiful and helpful as always. Thank you so much and you are the best
another great lecture – that is the way I understand complicated things. Thank you!
Outstanding presentation! Thank you.
Hallow Mr . L. Samwel you are very strong in Biology I do appreciate, congratulation dear. I would like to engarage you to continue teach us through different articles.
God bless you.
Mr. Cosmas
Hey Leslie , Thank you so much for the video is very helpful I understand more about biology.
Hi Les
I can not thank you enough for the Awsome work you put up. Sometimes we need few refreshers in certain topics and really going over the stuff that you offer really does go a long way.
HUUGGGEEE THANK YOU!!!
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I’m not able to d/l the resources for some reason.
Leslie, thanks for sharing this with us, the video is really impressive. I think there are many factors, which are leading to the high blood pressure. of course, the biggest reason is the food(http://www.creative-proteomics.com/Application/Food-and-Beverage-Analysis.htm) we eat everyday.

It’s reported that Vitamin C is helpful to release the blood vessel constriction.

nice way to spread such types of information.
