Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which blood pressure is generated and controlled.

Introduction: The blood pressure is defined as the force of blood that is exerted against the inner walls of the blood vessels. The blood pressure is primarily produced by the contraction of the muscles of the heart. Even though this force is found all over the vascular system, the term blood pressure is commonly used to refer the pressure in the arteries supplied by the branches of the aorta.
