Summary Introduction

To list: The compensatory mechanisms that help to return blood pressure to the normal levels following a slight drop such as standing up too rapidly.

Concept introduction: The pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall. The pressure is expressed by the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure that are the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively. The pressure exerted by the blood when ejected from the left ventricle is known as the systolic pressure and the pressure that is sustained when the ventricles are relaxed is known as the diastolic pressure.
