Question
Chapter 49.5, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism by which the autoregulatory control of blood flow stimulates the hormonal adjustment of mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Introduction:
The MAP is defined as the average blood pressure in an individual during a cardiac cycle. The MAP is controlled by neural as well as hormonal mechanisms. The hormonal adjustment of the MAP is under autoregulatory control.
