Controlling Blood Pressure Requires an Irreducibly Complex System
Howard Glicksman September 22, 2015 12:32 PM |
Editor's note: Physicians have a special place among the thinkers who have elaborated the argument for intelligent design. Perhaps that's because, more than evolutionary biologists, they are familiar with the challenges of maintaining a functioning complex system, the human body. With that in mind, Evolution News & Views is delighted to present this series, "The Designed Body." Dr. Glicksman practices palliative medicine for a hospice organization.
The body is a multi-cellular organism that requires the circulation of blood within its cardiovascular system to give its cells what they need to live, grow, and work properly.
In the last article in this series, I explained what blood pressure is -- the force that blood exerts against the walls of the large systemic arteries as it flows through them.
Since blood has mass, its flow within the body is prevented by natural forces such as inertia, vascular resistance and gravity. The heart pumps the blood throughout the circulatory system and it is the blood pressure that represents the driving force for blood flow. When the left ventricle contracts, it pumps more blood into the systemic arteries, which causes the blood pressure to rise to a maximum, called the systolic pressure.

I predict my high blood pressure will greatly improve January 20, 2017.
Me too, unless those intent on destroying the USA are able to cheat their way back into the WH.
DITTO THAT!!!
Is that what makes it so PROFITABLE for the pharmasurance syndicate?
LOL. Definitely. Break out the adult beverages!
...he let out at a speech a week or so ago that his BP is 108
I guess that's after strenuous work out....not bad for a 69 year old.
Probably his Diastolic number.
In his book "Art of the Deal" mentions he knows Barbara Walters (page 360)
My guess is they both use the "super slow" workout...hour a week does it all....and Trump is a very busy guy.
What is the “super slow” work out? Never heard of it. TIA.
On Monday you start a Push then on Friday you finish with the Up. You then take the weekend off.

Using this approach in one year my muscle capacity increased from between x2 to x3 depending on the muscle group.
(Not too shabby for age 73)
I have a bone density scan and data from a year ago...so will re-visit it next year to see if any significant changes have occurred.
I hope you are correct. I’m sick of taking those Pills. LOL
Thanks much! I was just curious, as I’d never heard about it. Maybe it IS something Trump fits into his busy schedule :)
I pray all our blood pressure has reason to go down starting early November of next year.
