Baroreflex

The baroreflex is a crucial body mechanism that helps regulate blood pressure. When blood pressure rises, special sensors in the blood vessels detect this change and send signals to the brain. In response, the brain sends signals to the heart and blood vessels to lower heart rate and widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Conversely, if blood pressure drops, the brain triggers the heart to beat faster and blood vessels to constrict, increasing pressure. This automatic response ensures that your body maintains stable blood pressure, which is vital for overall health and proper organ function.
