[The cardiac hormonal system as a link in hemodynamic regulation and water-salt homeostasis]
Abstract:
Classic and modern data on natriuretic peptide hormones that are synthesized in cardiac atria and participate in hemodynamic and water-salt balance regulation are summarized in this paper. Cumulated data on polypeptide variety, their structure, intracellular syntheses, physiological effects and concentration alterations during model experiments and cardiovascular pathology are presented. Unsolved problems including methods of plasma peptides concentration measurements, their role in heart failure development, and their clinical significance are discussed.

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction while...

Baroreceptor Reflex
Baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch, detect changes in blood pressure. When blood pressure rises, these stretch-sensitive receptors...

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...
