The body requires energy even during complete rest‚ called the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The body is still active and is working‚ though to a lesser extent than during physical activity. Tasks including the maintenance of ion gradients‚ internal temperature‚ circulation of blood‚ and many other basic functions happen in order to sustain

function of the heart is to transport blood throughout the body‚ which delivers oxygen‚ nutrients and chemicals to the cells of the body to ensure their survival and proper function and to remove the cellular wastes. For the body to achieve this‚ it must maintain a certain blood pressure within the body to overcome gravity and orthostatic changes. If the body did not keep a certain pressure‚ distal cells and organs would not be able to receive a constant blood supply and cause a homeostatic imbalance

used for treating high blood pressure. Nerves from the adrenergic nervous system travel from the spinal cord to arteries where they release norepinephrine. Norepinephrine attaches to adrenergic receptors on arteries and causes the arteries to contract‚ narrowing the arteries‚ and increasing blood pressure. Labetalol blocks receptors of the adrenergic nervous system. When labetalol attaches to and blocks the receptors‚ arteries expand‚ resulting in a fall in blood pressure. GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes

are the major blood vessels that bring blood to each kidney. When the kidney’s blood supply is reduced by a narrowing (called renal artery stenosis)‚ the kidney produces high levels of a hormone called renin. High levels of renin trigger the production of other substances in the body that raise blood pressure‚ particularly a molecule called angiotensin II. Adrenal disease. The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and produce several hormones that help regulate blood pressure. Sometimes‚ one
