ANP also acts in the heart to prevent cardiac hypertrophy and to regulate vascular remodeling and energy metabolism. [8] NPPA expression is varied throughout mammalian development into adulthood. Fetal expression of NPPA is associated with the formation of chamber myocardium, muscle cells of the atria and ventricles in the early developing ...
Urination, also sometimes referred to as micturition, is the ejection of urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body.

[55] [56] [57] They can also regulate internal functions of our body including, but not limited to, osmotic pressure in cells, blood pressure in veins and arteries, micturition, and heart electrophysiology [58] [59] and contractility.
Beta-blockers, which slow down the heart and reduce the force of its contractions. Ace Inhibitors, which block the formation of Angiotensin II, a chemical that causes blood vessels to constrict.
Laxatives work in many different ways depending on what type of laxative they are. Some laxatives require a prescription, while others can be over-the-counter. There are many different types of ...
Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.
People who sit at a desk all day face a greater risk for heart disease, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.. Even if those desk dwellers do ...
