Overview

In relation to blood pressure regulation, what do you think is meant by short-term and
long-term?

I think short-term is related to minor changes and long term have to do with more
major changes.




Sort the following into whether they will a ect short-term blood pressure, long-term blood
pressure, or both.

Short-term Long-term

Dehydration Standing High salt diet

in response to standing.

What determines blood volume?

The amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) in the extracellular uid.
The concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) in the extracellular uid.
