Vascular Auto regulation: The Marvellous Self-Regulating Mechanism of Blood Flow
Author(s): Hakim George*
The human body relies on an intricate system to maintain a constant
supply of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs and tissues. One such
mechanism, vascular autoregulation, ensures that blood flow to critical
organs remains relatively stable despite fluctuations in blood pressure.
This article explores the fascinating world of vascular auto regulation,
uncovering the mechanisms that enable our body to maintain tissue
perfusion and protect against adverse effects of varying blood pressure.
Through the myogenic, metabolic, endothelial, and neural mechanisms,
the body adeptly adjusts blood flow to meet the specific demands of
each tissue. Understanding the significance of vascular autoregulation
has significant clinical implications, allowing for better management
of conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and traumatic injuries
affecting blood fl.. View More»
