Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The short-term regulation of blood pressure is managed through the baroreceptors in the carotid artery and aortic arch. The receptors trigger the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
Detailed explanation-2: -Baroreceptors constantly monitor how much blood you have in your blood vessels and what the pressure is inside them. When your blood pressure needs to change, your baroreceptors tell your brain. Your brain signals your heart or blood vessels to take action that raises or lowers your blood pressure.
