Important sensory receptors that monitor blood pressure are located inarteries in the chest above the heart and in arteries in the head. WhenSarah does a headstand, gravity causes the blood in her arteries to flowtoward her head, and the blood pressure in the arteries of her chest andhead increases. When Sarah crouches for a short time and then standsup rapidly, gravity causes the blood in her arteries to flow away from herneck and head and toward her feet, and the blood pressure in the arteriesof her chest and head decreases. How do the sympathetic reflexes thatcontrol blood vessels respond when Sarah does a headstand, and howdo the sympathetic reflexes that control blood vessels respond if Sarahsuddenly stands up after crouching for a short time?
