Physiological stress, aging, and cardiovascular health play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis within the human body. Physiological stress occurs in two phases: the ebb phase, characterized by decreased circulation and metabolic activity, and the flow phase, marked by increased metabolic responses. Aging affects cardiovascular efficiency, often leading to conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure. The cardiovascular system is vital for homeostasis, as it ensures oxygen and nutrient delivery while removing metabolic waste. Cardiovascular diseases, including strokes, heart attacks, and aneurysms, are commonly associated with hypertension and atherosclerosis. Understanding these processes and conditions is essential for improving healthcare interventions and treatments.
