i dont get it yet...
aby idea?
thanks
no idea....
calcium causes contraction,increases resistance
total peripheralresistance is the determinant of diastolic bp
yes, u are right!

well, I know that Sodium and Calcium share the same site for reabsorption.....Excess Na+ opens up calcium channels causing vasoconstriction of smooth muscle cell and increase in Total peripheral resistance wich gives increase diastolic pressure ?????
good explanation docmedra and determir. simple and straight fact. thanks
yes, docmedra, correct!

thanks guys, good job!
