what are the short term mechanisms of regulation of blood pressure?

Answer 1

Short term mechanisms of regulation of blood pressure include all of the reflex mechanisms and chemoreceptor control which may be activated within seconds. The baroreceptor has a set point and central control mechanisms regulate mean arterial pressure which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Answer 2

The baroceptors in the carotid bulb in the neck. At the junction of the external and internal carotids. These are nerve sensors that monitor blood pressure and make instantaneous changes of heart rate and blood vessel diameter to maintain blood pressure. These only work short term, if someone has a chronic elevated blood pressure these quit working.
