Document Summary

Influences venous p venous return impact sv and co. Increase bv increase bp (the v is not the v in pv= nrt) regulated by kidneys (excrete excess fluid) Increase bp due to decrease o2, increase co2, skin pain. If body is doing more cell metabolism using up more o2 and getting more co2 made want more blood circulation so that we can get it back to the lungs to get rid of it. When have skin pain (ex: something hitting your arm) activate sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) increase bp. Decrease bp due to visceral pain, sleep. Hypotension low blood pressure more dangerous short term. Shock huge drop in blood flow: if see someone in shock keep them warm, lie them down (help w/ gravity), elevate their feet up. We do these things so there is less blood pressure: shock is the person experiencing visceral pain!
