The medulla oblongata then puts out an increase in sympathetic input to release adrenaline‚ a hormone of the endocrine system‚ which causes vasoconstriction. The vasoconstriction would then cause the blood pressure to rise back to normal. The body also regulates blood pressure by increasing or decreasing sympathetic and parasympathetic input of the
