Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata

‘Low pressure atmospheric systems have more of a short term impact than high pressure systems.’ Discuss. Low pressure atmospheric systems are also known as depressions or cyclones and they form in mid- and high-latitudes. They are formed by the mixing of cold and warm air‚ the warm air is lighter‚ so it rises above the denser‚ cold air and forms a centre of low pressure. High pressure atmospheric systems are also known as anticyclones and have very different characteristics to depressions. Anticyclones
