Describe the Physiology of Blood Pressure Maintenance in the Healthy Individual


The aim of this assignment is to describe the physiology of blood pressure maintenance in the healthy individual.
Blood pressure can be explained as 'the force exerted by blood against the walls of the vessels in which it is contained' (Marieb & Hoehn, 2007, p.148). Blood is pumped around the body by the heart. Blood that is low in oxygen is pumped towards the lungs, where it will acquire more oxygen. Blood that is high in oxygen is pumped around the body to be used by the muscles and cells (NHS choices, 2008).

Physiology Dissertation | Sahiwal Cattle Breed

"A significant national genetic resource of Pakistan is the Sahiwal cattle breed. Originated and developed in Pakistan, this breed is now reported to be present in 29 countries (FAO, 2007). Population of this breed is diminishing because of intensive crossbreeding for dairying which remains a main threat to its survival (Payne and Hodges, 1997). It is necessary to improve fertility rates in our national breeds, by the use of insemination with frozen-thawed semen (Barbas and Mascarenhas, 2009)."
