Set the frame
State the pressure or flow question, the time course and whether the disturbance is acute or sustained.
CARDIOVASCULAR REGULATION
Pressure is a
moving balance.
Start with flow, resistance and the feedback response. Use an approved source for numerical values, named pathways and exceptions.
Trace the levers
Connect cardiac output, vascular tone, volume state and their linked control signals.
Follow the loop
Identify sensing, integration and effector response; then say what makes the response appropriate.
Check the context
Posture, activity, volume change and time alter the model. Do not use a single reflex as a universal answer.
RECALL CHECK
Can you explain the response?
Test the model first, then add source-backed detail in your own words.
