C. Think back to (or review) the figure describing the distribution of fluid across the walls of a capillary. In many types of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, the levels of glucose in the plasma can climb much, much higher than the normal set-point and can persist for prolonged periods of time. What would this cause to happen in a finely balanced capillary bed if nothing else is able to change?

Use the word bank below to fill-out the table summarizing blood pressure control: Baroreflex Aldosterone Autoregulation Angiogenesis Medullary ischemic response Anti-diuretic hormone Atrial natriuretic peptide Reactive hyperemia Chemoreflex Vasoactive chemicals Angiotensin II Epinephrine & norepinephrine Type of blood pressure control: Examples: Specific way it controls blood pressure: Local: if tissue is inadequately perfused, wastes accumulate stimulating vasodilation which increases perfusion if blood supply cut off then restored, flow increases above normal substances such as histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins that stimulate vasomotion growth of new blood vessels Neural: blood pressure changes detected by carotid sinuses results in changes in heart rate and cardiac output (sympathetic control) Receptors in aortic and carotid bodies detect changes in blood pH, and alter heart and breathing rates to correct blood oxygenation levels. Vasomotion can also be altered. Automatic…
