Chapter 11, Problem 14MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the blood onto the walls of the vessels while circulating. Several factors such as blood vessel diameter, body position, cardiac output, vessel length and others influence the blood pressure. The kidneys also play a role in the regulation of the blood pressure.
