The cerebellum role in arterial hypertension

The consideration of the functioning body as a dissipative structure leads to the assumption of the existence of a regulative system, that through the feedback system keeps homeostasis. We already know the location of parameters' detectors as well as the place of data analysis. Some information is available on how the system reacts to parameters' change by signals distribution all over the body. This information is available for certain species. Quite often such information is gathered about the human body. Simple logic suggests, that if something interferes with the input of correct information, the system will eventually start to distribute incorrect signals and as a result this will lead to dysfunction. If we consider the cause of arterial hypertension (AHT) from this angle we inevitably meet with the blocking of information flow to the rhomboid fossa of the cerebellum through cervical vertebral arteries due their clamping by the damaged cervical cartilage. The data on the correlation of arterial blood pressure (BP) with linear blood flow through cervical vertebral, not carotid arteries is demonstrated. Available data supported the hypothesis as well as the data which should be collected to additionally support it are discussed.

Automated summary

Considering the functioning body as a dissipative structure implies the existence of a regulatory system to maintain homeostasis. Interference with correct information input can lead to dysfunction. Arterial hypertension may be caused by the obstruction of information flow to the cerebellum due to damaged cervical cartilage. The correlation between blood flow through cervical vertebral arteries and arterial blood pressure can provide additional support for this hypothesis.
