Explain Factors Regulating Blood Pressure

Blood pressure regulating mechanisms may be classified into two categories:

a)  Short term regulating mechanisms, which regulate and maintain the normal blood pressure inspite of factors which tends to disturb it every minute. These regulators are mainly neural and includes baroreceptors, chemoreceptors etc.

b)  Long term regulating mechanisms, which adjust the body fluid volume. These regulations are mainly through hormones. The hormonal mechanisms include the catecholamine release from adrenal medulla, renin-angiotensin mechanism of kidney etc.
