Ajuste del nivel basal de la presión arterial / [Adjustment of the basal level of blood pressure]

ABSTRACT

Basically the circulation must satisfy three requirements 1) to provide an adequate blood flow to the tissues for maintaining their energetic needs, 2) to sustain renal function (glomerular pressure and renal blood flow) for the precise homeostasis of body fluids, and 3) to grant cutaneous circulation for controlling body temperature. Therefore, the arterial circulation can be separated in oxygen dependent, filtration dependent and thermic dependent sectors. The blood flow distribution through these regions depends on the myogenic tone of the resistance vessels. The oxygen dependent section receives 70
