SHORT TERM REGULATION OF BP
• First line of defence against a/c changes in arterial BP
• Neural
1. Baroreceptor reflex
mechanism
• Baroreceptors – Stretch receptors in
the wall of heart and blood vessels
• Spray type N endings
• Increase in pressure – stretch of
baroreceptors – transmit signals at
higher rate to Brain stem centres – FB
signals to bring BP back to normal
Baroreceptors
Carotid sinus and Aortic arch R – Monitors
high pressure circulation
Cardiopulmonary R - Walls of the right and
left atria at the entrance of the superior and
inferior Venaecavae and the pulmonary veins,
as well as in the pulmonary circulation – In
low pressure part
• BUFFER NERVES
Baroreceptor
reflex
pathway
Best known mechanism for
arterial pressure control
Increase in MAP
Increased
discharge in IX
and X Cr. N
Stimulation of
NTS
Two efferent

Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic
IN SYMPATHETIC NS
NTS stimulate
CVLM & IVLM
(Glu)
Inhibition of
RVLM (GABA)
Reduced
sympathetic
discharge
Decreased HR,

IN PARASYMPATHETIC NS

Ambigus & DMN
Increased Vagal
activity
Vasodilation,
venodilation,
bradycardia and
decreased BP
Decreased HR, BP
& CO
II. Chemorecptors
• Carotid body & Aortic body
• Activated primarily by Hypoxia, and also by high pCO2 and H+
• Powerful activation occurs when MAP falls below 80 mmHg –
Powerful at pressures below normal MAP
• Operates at a range of 40 – 100 mm Hg MAP
Hypoxia, hypercapnia and
acidosis
Stimulation of CR & transmitted through IX &
Xth nerve
NTS
Excitation of RVLM
Elevation of arterial pressure
III. CNS ischemic response
• Hypoxia & Hypercapnia – direct stimulation of RVLM – Strong
excitation of neurons – Systemic arterial pressure rises to very high
levels – CNS ISCHEMIC RESPONSE
• MAP may increase as high as 250 mm Hg
• Most powerful stimulation to sympathetic vasoconstrictor system but
becomes active only when MAP falls below 60 mm Hg
• Greatest degree of stimulation – 15 – 20 mm Hg.
• Emergency pressure control system
• Acts very rapidly & powerfully to prevent further decrease in arterial
pressure.
• LAST DITCH STAND
CUSHING REACTION / CUSHING REFLEX
• Special type of CNS ischemic response
• Results due to increased ICP
• High ICP – ischemia of RVLM – local hypoxia and hypercapnia – increased
discharge from RVLM – Increased MAP – Restores blood flow to medulla
• Helps to protect vital organs
• Increase in MAP associated with bradycardia in CUSHING REFLEX
EXCEPTIONS TO GENERAL RULE:
• In Bezold Jarisch reflex –Tachycardia & Hypotension
• In Cushing reflex – Hypertension & Bradycardia

Intermediate mechanisms
• Activated within minutes to several hours
• Effects lasts for days
• Three main mechanism:
RA vasoconstrictor system
Stress relaxation
Capillary fluid shift mechanism
RA vasoconstrictor
system
Stress relaxation and Reverse stress
relaxation of vasculature
• Increase in blood volume - Increase in BP – more stretch on the blood
vessels - relaxation of blood vessel wall – low VR – low cardiac output
– restoration of BP to normal.
• Reduced blood volume – reduced BP – less stress on vessel wall -
vessel wall tone increased - tight blood vessels – BP is brought back
to normal.
Capillary fluid shift mechanism
LONG TERM REGULATION OF BLOOD
PRESSURE
LONG TERM MECHANISMS
• Act when nervous mechanism lose their ability to oppose changes in pressure.
• Closely connected with homeostasis of body fluid volume
• Kidneys play a dominant role.
• Includes:
DIRECT MECHANISMS - Renal fluid volume pressure control mechanisms –
PRESSURE DIURESIS AND PRESSURE NATRIURESIS
INDIRECT MECHANISMS – Through hormones
Decrease in
arterial pressure
Renal ischemia Reduced GFR
Water and
electrolyte
retention
Increased ECF
volume
Increased CO &
BP
Pressure natriuresis
• Increase in BP by 30 – 50 mm Hg – 2 -3 fold
increase in urinary Na output
• Also,
• ANP – directly acts on kidney to inhibit Na
reabsorption
• Increase capillary permeability
• Relaxes VSM
• Inhibit renin secretion
• Counteract pressor response of
catecholamines & AT - II
INDIRECT MECHANISM
1. RAAS
• Powerful mechanism
• Requires 20 minutes to become fully active
• Can rapidly return arterial pressure halfway back to normal within a
few minutes
• AT – II – Powerful vasoconstrictor, especially arterioles
• AT – II – Act on kidney to decrease excretion of NaCl & H2O
• Act via direct and indirect ways
Direct effect of AT – II
• Constricts renal arterioles
• Causes rapid reabsorption of Na & H2O from tubules – decrease urine
output
• Act on thirst centres – increase ADH secretion – increased H2O
retention
Indirect effects of AT – II
• AT – II – acts on Adrenal cortex – increase aldosterone – high salt &
water reabsorption
• Facilitate the secretion of NE from sympathetic nerve endings
Direct action of AT – II on kidney is 30 times as potent as the indirect
effect through aldosterone
2. Role of ADH
• Reduced blood volume or
reduced arterial pressure –
reduced stretch of BR &
Cardiopulmonary receptors –
increased ADH secretion –
increased fluid reabsorption
