Around 200mmHg
Focal calcification is the deposition of calcium salts in the tunica media, and comes about from the
Deposition of lipids
Degradation of smooth muscle

The Valsalva manoeuvre is used to check peripheral vasoconstriction by
Forcing an increase in thoracic pressure
Decreasing venous return
Forcing a decrease in thoracic pressure
Increasing venous return
Causing blood pressure in the heart to drop

Cholinergenic
Nitrooxidergic
Adrenergic
Which of these causes vasoconstriction
Angiotensin II
ADH
EPO
Natriuretic peptides

Angiotensin II
EPO
Angiotensin II directly causes
Vasoconstriction
Vasodilation
Increased cardiac output
Increased thirst
Release of ADH
Release of aldosterone
Release of natriuretic peptides
Formation of oedemas
Natriuretic peptides are produced upon
