Question 3

what cause bp?

Accepted Answer

Multiple factors: The heart pumps blood under pressure into the arteries. The higher the resistance to flow the higher the pressure. Thus both the pressure generated by the heart and the resistance from the arteries determine the pressure. Hormones, kidney function, blood volume (salt related), the autonomic nervous system, etc. All regulate this process and can be responsible for abnormalities of blood pressure.
