  • (18) Furthermore, the same type of structural adaptation also contributes to the upward resetting of the cardiac, arterial, and renal "barostat" mechanisms, as cardiac and arterial walls become thicker and stiffer, whereas renal preglomerular resistance vessels participate in the upward structural autoregulation.

Test
