Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluid-shift is not a mechanism for long-term control of blood pressure. It is a short-term mechanism that helps to maintain blood pressure during changes in posture or activity. The correct pairing for long-term control of blood pressure is the kidneys, which regulate blood volume through the production of urine.
