The heart and blood vessels are fundamentally linked as the primary components of the cardiovascular system, as described in [1], [2], and [3]. They function together to circulate blood and transport essential nutrients throughout the body, as noted in [4] and [5], and are jointly regulated by the autonomic nervous system to maintain blood pressure, as detailed in [6] and [7].

claimBlood pressure regulation is a physiological phenomenon studied under the homeostatic paradigm, involving the heart (as a pump), blood vessels (which constrict and relax), and kidneys (which manage blood volume by filtering fluid and conserving sodium).
claimHomeostasis models the cause of hypertension by pointing to abnormal functionality of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, or molecular signaling, whereas allostasis explains that the brain deliberately directs these organs on an anticipatory basis to elevate blood pressure for the delivery of resources like glucose and oxygen to large muscle groups.
claimHomeostatic schematics of blood pressure regulation typically highlight the brainstem centers of the autonomic nervous system, direct neural control and afferent signaling between the brain, heart, and blood vessels, and neural ganglia at the kidneys.
claimThe adrenal glands, lungs, and liver are recognized as playing roles in the regulation of blood pressure alongside the heart, vessels, and kidneys.

claimThe cardiovascular system (also called the circulatory system) is composed of the heart and blood vessels and functions to pump blood containing oxygen and nutrients like sugars, proteins, and fats to all parts of the body.
claimThe brain regulates blood pressure by monitoring sensors in the body and signaling the cardiovascular system to slow the heart and open blood vessels, and signaling the kidneys to excrete fluid when pressure is too high.

referenceThe cardiorespiratory response to exercise demonstrates hierarchical control of homeostatic regulation: the first level consists of tissues and organs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems (heart, lung, blood vessels, kidneys, and endocrine glands); the second level consists of the baroreceptor and cardiorenal reflexes; and the third level of regulation occurs within the medulla (NTS) of the central nervous system where sensory information is processed and efferent responses are initiated.
