Arterial hypertensio: These are hormones closely related to blood pressure control secreted by the kidneys {renin} and the adrenal glands. They are vital for preservation of salt and therefore control the volume of the plasma as well as the tone of your small arteries the combination of these two plus cardiac pump action determines your blood pressure at all times.
