GO:0060048 cardiac muscle contraction Muscle contraction of cardiac muscle tissue. 54
GO:0008217 regulation of blood pressure 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. 25
GO:0060047 heart contraction The multicellular organismal process in which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. 19
GO:0008015 blood circulation The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. 11
GO:0001993 regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by norepinephrine-epinephrine The process in which the secretion of norepinephrine or epinephrine into the bloodstream modulates the force with which blood passes through the circulatory system. 9
GO:0014829 vascular smooth muscle contraction A process, occurring in the vascular tissue, whereby actin/myosin complex activity generates force through ATP hydrolysis resulting in a change in smooth muscle geometry. This process is always coupled to chemo-mechanical energy conversion. 8
GO:0003073 regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure The process that modulates the force with which blood travels through the systemic arterial circulatory system. The process is controlled by a balance of processes that increase pressure and decrease pressure. 6
GO:0003015 heart process A circulatory system process carried out by the heart. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. 5
GO:0034959 endothelin maturation The process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of endothelin by conversion of Big-endothelin substrate into mature endothelin. 4
GO:0060087 relaxation of vascular smooth muscle A process in which the extent of vascular smooth muscle contraction is reduced. Vascular smooth muscle relaxation is mediated via a decrease in the phosphorylation state of myosin light chain. This can be achieved by removal of calcium from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen through the action of Ca2+ ATPases leading to a decrease myosin light chain kinase activity, and through calcium-independent pathways leading to a increase in myosin light chain phosphatase activity. 3
GO:0043114 regulation of vascular permeability Any process that modulates the extent to which blood vessels can be pervaded by fluid. 3
GO:0042311 vasodilation An increase in the internal diameter of blood vessels, especially arterioles or capillaries, usually resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. 3
GO:0050880 regulation of blood vessel size Any process that modulates the size of blood vessels. 3
GO:0003104 positive regulation of glomerular filtration Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of glomerular filtration. Glomerular filtration is the processs whereby blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the renal tubule. 3
GO:0045777 positive regulation of blood pressure Any process in which the force of blood traveling through the circulatory system is increased. 3
GO:0042310 vasoconstriction A decrease in the diameter of blood vessels, especially arteries, usually causing an increase in blood pressure. 2
GO:0003081 regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by renin-angiotensin The process in which renin-angiotensin modulates the force with which blood passes through the circulatory system. 2
GO:0003059 positive regulation of the force of heart contraction by epinephrine The process in which the secretion of epinephrine into the bloodstream or released from nerve endings modulates the force of heart muscle contraction. 2
GO:0043117 positive regulation of vascular permeability Any process that increases the extent to which blood vessels can be pervaded by fluid. 1
GO:0002025 vasodilation by norepinephrine-epinephrine involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure A process that results in an increase in the diameter of an artery during the norepinephrine-epinephrine response to blood pressure change. 1
GO:0003093 regulation of glomerular filtration Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of glomerular filtration. Glomerular filtration is the process in which blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the renal tubule. 1
GO:0003069 vasodilation by acetylcholine involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure The process in which acetylcholine signaling causes vasodilation, resulting in a change in blood pressure. 1
GO:0001996 positive regulation of heart rate by epinephrine-norepinephrine The process in which the presence of epinephrine or norepinephrine in the bloodstream activates, maintains or increases the rate of heart contraction. 1
GO:0003065 positive regulation of heart rate by epinephrine The process in which the secretion of epinephrine into the bloodstream or released from nerve endings increases the rate of heart muscle contraction. 1
GO:0045776 negative regulation of blood pressure Any process in which the force of blood traveling through the circulatory system is decreased. 1
GO:0086094 positive regulation of ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity by adrenergic receptor signaling pathway involved in positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction An adrenergic receptor signaling pathway that contributes to an increase in frequency or rate of cardiac muscle contraction through phosphorylation and enhancement of the ryanodine receptor, a calcium-activated calcium-release channel found in the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. An adrenergic receptor-activated adenylate cyclase generates cAMP. cAMP then activates the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates the ryanodine receptor (RyR). PKA-phosphorylation of RyR enhances channel activity by sensitizing the channel to cytosolic calcium. Cytosolic calcium stimulates contractile proteins to promote muscle contraction. 1
GO:0001976 neurological system process involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure The regulation of blood pressure mediated by detection of stimuli and a neurological response. 1
GO:0003018 vascular process in circulatory system A circulatory process that occurs at the level of the vasculature. 1
GO:0002033 vasodilation by angiotensin involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure The process that increases the size of a blood vessel via the renin-angiotensin system. 1
