    20.4 Homeostatic Regulation of Vascular System

    • Describe the process of neural regulation of vascular homeostasis. Include the roles of the following in your description:
      • Medulla oblongata
      • Cardioaccelerator center
      • Cardioinhibitory center
      • Vasomotor center
    • Describe the baroreceptor reflex. Include what triggers it, its effect on BP, and how it achieves this effect.
    • Describe the chemoreceptor reflex. Include what triggers it, its effect on the cardiovascular system, and how it achieves this effect.
    • Describe the contribution of the following hormones to the regulation of blood pressure. For each hormone state where it is produced, what stimulated its release, what effect it has on blood pressure, and how it achieves that effect.
      • Epinephrine
      • Norepinephrine
      • ADH
      • Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism
      • Erythropoietin
      • ANH (ANP)
    • Describe the process of autoregulation. Focus on the myogenic response.
    • Identify the effects of exercise on vascular homeostasis.
    • Discuss how hypertension, hemorrhage, and circulatory shock affect vascular health.
