Why is homeostasis important?

Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain an internal environment that is constant, regardless of outside influences. The body controls blood pressure, temperature, respiration and even blood glucose levels by using several internal mechanisms to keep things constant.

Does blood pressure regulation have a coexisting mechanism?

We analysed the loops in the system and showed the presence of two coexisting mechanisms for blood pressure regulation, which perform the same qualitative function, conferring robustness to the system: one mechanism tunes vasoconstriction, the other blood volume.

How did the complex system of BP regulation evolve?

Thus, we conclude that the complex system of BP regulation evolved from simpler components that were utilized to maintain specific homeostatic functions that play key roles in existence and survival of organisms. 1. Introduction

How does the nervous system regulate vascular homeostasis?

Adequate blood flow, blood pressure, distribution, and perfusion involve autoregulatory, neural, and endocrine mechanisms. The nervous system plays a critical role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis. The primary regulatory sites include the cardiovascular centers in the brain that control both cardiac and vascular functions.
