Hypertension

Diastolic pressure is extremely high. Uncontrollable, severe, and progressives rapidly. Has many complications

Idiopathic

Results from renal, endocrine disease, or pheochromocytoma. Underlying condition must be treated to reduce blood pressure

Decreased blood flow through kidneys cause secretion of this molecule

This molecule is a potent vasoconstrictor. Vasoconstriction increases peripheral vascular resistance which increases blood pressure

This molecule cause’s sodium and water reabsorption. This increases blood volume. Increased blood volume increases blood pressure

Molecule that stimulates secretion of aldosterone from adrenal gland

Secretion of this molecule results in formation of angiotensin II

Decreased blood flow to the kidney results in increased secretion of renin from the kidneys. Name 3 conditions that decrease blood flow to the kidneys

High blood pressure causes damage to renal blood vessels. How does this affect renal blood flow?

High diastolic blood pressure increases workload of left ventricle. What heart condition does this cause?

High blood pressure causes damage to cerebral arteries? What condition can result because of this damage?

High blood pressure damages arterial walls. When arterial walls are damaged it makes it easier for plaques to form on the arterial walls. What is this condition called?

High blood pressure damages retinal blood vessels. What condition does this damage cause?
