More recently, the vestibular system has been shown to influence autonomic control, and evidence suggests that the vestibular system plays a role in postural-related adjustments in blood pressure. Much like equilibrium, blood pressure regulation involves multiple feedback systems. The most recognized feedback system for blood pressure regulation is the baroreflex, an autonomic reflex that senses mechanical changes in the blood vessels of the aortic arch and carotid bodies. However, evidence suggests that the vestibular apparatus also assists in blood pressure regulation.
