Hemodynamics and Regulation - Part 5

Explore the fifth part of this lecture series on hemodynamics and regulation, covering the renin-angiotensin II aldosterone system, hypertension treatments like Captopril, and vasoconstriction mechanisms through anti-diuretic hormone and vasopressin. Learn about endothelin's role in vasoconstriction, nervous regulation of circulation, and oxygen's importance in cardiovascular function. Discover the fundamentals of the lymphatic system and microcirculation, including pressure compensation mechanisms, GPCR signaling, baro-receptor reflexes, and the physiological adaptations to high altitude and premature birth conditions. Examine the principles of lymph flow, exchange and diffusion processes, and the Starling hypothesis in this comprehensive 35-minute lecture from NPTEL-NOC IITM.
