Summary Introduction
To explain:
When short term mechanism is important to regulate the blood pressure.
Concept introduction:
Blood pressure is the pressure on the walls of blood vessels exerted by the blood. The normal blood pressure for an adult should be around 120 mm Hg over 80 mm Hg. 120 represents the systolic pressure and 80 represent the diastolic pressure of the blood.
