The body attempts to maintain homeostasis of a resting blood pressure through negative feedback. When an individual is at rest‚ this results in a decreased demand on their bodies respiratory and cardiovascular system (Martini‚ Ober‚ & Nath‚ 2015). Therefore‚ the individual’s blood pressure is maintained by central regulation. Central regulation consists of the cardiovascular system‚ assistance with the neural and endocrine system via the release of hormone regulators. This form of regulation incorporates

The spinal cord has three major functions: as a conduit for motor information‚ which travels down the spinal cord‚ as a conduit for sensory information in the reverse direction‚ and finally as a center for coordinating certain reflexes. Spinal Cord Function- The spinal cord is basically the "information highway of the body"‚ messages are sent
