Although we often just use the term blood pressure loosely, the specific variable controlled by the body is mean arterial blood pressure. While there are non-cardiovascular variables that can affect blood pressure (e.g., blood volume), the cardiovascular variables can be adjusted very quickly to respond to sudden changes in blood pressure. Which of the following cardiovascular control factors contribute to changes in blood pressure? Select all that apply.- blood vessel diameter
- body temperature
- heart rate
- volume of blood in body
- force of cardiac contraction
