Baroreceptor Reflexes: Maintaining Vascular Homeostasis

The baroreceptor reflex is a critical mechanism that helps regulate blood pressure by detecting changes and initiating responses to restore balance. This diagram showcases how increased or decreased blood pressure triggers baroreceptor firing, influencing cardiac output and vascular tone to achieve homeostasis, ensuring the circulatory system functions optimally.
