Compare and contrast the negative feedback regulation of blood pressure via short- term mechanisms and long-term mechanisms. Include in your discussion three different ways short- term mechanisms regulate blood pressure and two ways long-term mechanisms do. Also explain how local hormones signal changes, which result in localized blood pressure changes and the shunting of blood. <Tab/>There are several different mechanisms that the body uses to regulate blood pressure.
