Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood pressure is the pressure on the walls of blood vessels exerted by the blood. The factors that affect blood pressure are vasoconstriction, hypertension, and so on. The increase in blood pressure induces the release of ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) to maintain the normal blood pressure.
