- Changes in blood pressure occur throughout the day. Short term mechanisms, like the baroreceptor reflex, maintain a steady flow of blood to the tissues to sustain life despite postural changes. However, there can be elevations of blood pressure orchestrated by the nervous system. Describe an example where the nervous system causes changes in the normal functioning of the circulatory system.arrow_forwardA 55-year-old woman, Rebecca Dauhey, has varicose veins prominently seen on both legs, on both the upper and lower portions.
