Describe the neural and hormonal mechanisms that work to maintain blood pressure after significant (hemorrhaging) blood loss associated with an injury.

Autoregulatory neural and endocrine mechanisms activate after blood loss to compensate for the loss and restore homeostasis.

Neural mechanisms involve blood pressure and blood chemistry. Cardiac centers and vasomotor centers may increase the blood flow and cardiac output (sympathetic) or decrease the blood flow and cardiac output (parasympathetic). Peripheral vessels are also constricted and nor epinephrine decreases flow in the arteries and decreases the flow in the veins.

Endocrine control acts in the renal and adrenal organs, the brain and heart. RBCs, renin/angiotensiogen/aldosterone, catecholamines, antidiretic hormone, atrial natriuretic hormone regulate blood volume and blood pressure by keeping the fluids in the cardiovascular system. It also initiates vasoconstrictors or vasodilators.

the energy generated by an individual's metabolism is calculated in met (metabolic equivalent of task). the met is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. one met is illustrated as 1 kcal per kilogram per hour, and is probably equal to the energy cost of sitting quietly.

1 met is equal to 1.162 watt per kg

1 kg is equal to 1000 grams

as the person weighs 80000 gm, that is, 80 kg.

therefore, 80*1.162 = 92.96

thus, the person expends 92.96 watts of power while at rest.
