Mechanisms that help to reduce the rise in capillary pressure include skeletal-muscle pumping, as this lowers venous pressure. Sympathetically mediated arteriolar vasoconstriction that occurs as part of the reflex responses to posture also reduces the rise in capillary pressure. An additional local mechanism operates that does not involve the central nervous system and causes arteriolar constriction only in vascular beds below heart level. This veni-arteriolar response is thought to be triggered by local venous distension and probably involves local sympathetic nerve networks.
Reflexes from the urinary bladder Distension of the urinary bladder can cause reflex tachycardia, vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. In normal healthy humans, the rise in blood pressure is usually moderate because of the buffering action of the arterial baroreceptor reflexes. Rapid emptying of a distended bladder can cause sudden loss of this pressor reflex, which, if the depressor reflex from the arterial baroreceptors persists for a while, may cause a transient fall in blood pressure. Occasionally, this is large enough to cause fainting.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the posterior pituitary increases water reabsorption in the distal nephron, reducing urine output. It can also cause vasoconstriction, as indicated by its alternative name vasopressin, although higher concentrations are needed for this than for its antidiuretic action. In health, the release of ADH is controlled by plasma osmolality sensed by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. Vasopressin release is also stimulated by hypovolaemia, via a reduction in firing of the cardiopulmonary and arterial baroreceptors.
