Understanding Blood Pressure:
Blood pressure is a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health, measured
as the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It
consists of two numbers - systolic (when your heart beats) and diastolic
(resting phase). Maintaining normal blood pressure is essential for
overall well-being.
Hyper/Hypo Functioning System:
The human body has complex mechanisms that regulate blood pressure
constantly. These include autonomic nervous system responses like
sympathetic activation or parasympathetic deactivation, along with
hormonal systems such as renin angiotensin aldosterone pathway.
