| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 6854 | Explain the concept of hydrostatic pressure, and the relationship between pressure and the height of a column of fluid (water, mercury). | | 6855 | Describe the impact of a vertical fluid column and gravity on blood pressure and its measurement. | | 6856 | Explain the differences between different measures of blood pressure (mean, systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure) and how they are influenced by peripheral vascular resistance, cardiac output, stroke volume, and central vascular compliance. | | 6857 | Contrast the role of the baroreceptor reflex (baroreflex) and kidney in regulating blood pressure. | | 6858 | Describe the anatomy and function of the baroreceptor reflex in the control of blood pressure. | | |
