This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: BP- precious, aldosterone secretion from adrenal cortex causing kidney Na+ retention, obesity and BMI 32.9, increased renin from kidneys producing angiotensin I, arteriolar smooth muscle leading to vasoconstriction, increases venous return which increases preload, increased renin/angiotensin system activity due to high angiotensinogen concentration, inadequate production of nitric oxide causes vasoconstriction, increased blood volume which increases venous return, peripheral resistance leading to essential hypertension, Precious Bledsoe diagnosed with essential hypertension, distal convoluted tubule which inhibits Na+ retention, number of adipocytes which produce inflammatory agents, increased fluid reabsorption and increased blood volume, angiotensin converting enzyme producing angiotensin II, beta-1 receptor on kidney leading to increased renin from kidneys, environmental such as lack of exercise, risk factors including environmental, essential hypertension characterized by increased release of angiotensinogen from liver, lisinopril inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme, angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction
