Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary mechanism by which the body regulates blood pressure?
  • Step 1: The body uses hormones to help control blood pressure. These hormones can either raise or lower blood pressure as needed.
  • Step 2: The nervous system also plays a role by sending signals to the heart and blood vessels to adjust blood pressure quickly.
  • Step 3: The kidneys help regulate blood pressure by controlling the amount of water and salt in the body, which affects blood volume.
