The multicellular organismal process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. Any process that modulates the size of blood vessels. A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. Any process that modulates the extent to which blood vessels can be pervaded by fluid. Any process that modulates the force with which blood travels through the circulatory system. The process is controlled by a balance of processes that increase pressure and decrease pressure. A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system that moves extracellular fluids to and from tissue within a multicellular organism.
