Abstract
Circulation is regulated by neural, endocrine, and autoregulatory systems via control of systemic arterial pressure and heart function. Vasomotor fibers reach small arteries, arterioles, venules, and veins from sympathetic nerve origins in the medulla and pons known as the vasomotor center. Both increased and decreased blood volumes can have clinical complications and hence the maintenance of blood volume is crucial to normal perfusion of body tissues. Blood volume, normally proportioned with extracellular fluid in the body, is closely controlled through a combination of factors. This chapter reviews how these mechanisms work in conjunction to protect the body during periods of instability.
