Hypovolemic Shock: BP is going ________. Baroreceptors: sense blood pressure Baroreceptors associated with kidney and larger vessels (aorta, carotid) --> Baroreceptors sense the drop in blood pressure (or increase) and notifies the brain, pituitary gland KIDNEYS will release ______ in response to the drop in blood pressure. Liver and lungs will release ACE which will cause the conversion of angiotensin I to angiontensin II which is now circulating the blood. This constricts the blood vessels. Also causes the production of aldosterone. This goes to the kidneys and tells then to retain salt and water so that we dont URINATE and retain FLUID. ADH (vasopressin) is like angiotension II except it goes directly to the kidneys to prevent urination. (Diuretic causes you to urinate, this is an anti-diuretic) BY retaining fluid, preventing the decrease in BP. ADH also goes to the vessels and presses on them/ causes constriction and increases resistance. Sympathetic nervous system is going to act on the _____, causing it to increase cardiac output, increasing BP + causing vasoconstriction increasing BP!
