From eurekalert:
When blood pressure increases the kidneys respond by extracting extra water and salts into the urine, causing blood volume -- and hence pressure -- to fall. But special nerve pathways mean the brain can also regulate urine production and hence influence blood pressure.
So, no one organ regulates blood pressure.

What do plasma proteins that remain in the blood capillaries help?
Maintain the osmotic pressure of the blood
What organs filter blood and work to maintain a constant blood PH level?
heyiao
What is the effect of hypovolemic shock on the blood vessels and the heart?
Blood vessels constrict to increase venous return and maintain pressure. Heart rate increases to compensate for loss of blood pressure and to maintain cardiac output.
Which element help maintain healthy blood pressure?
magnesium
Plasma proteins that remain in the blood capillaries help to?
Maintain the osmotic pressure of the blood.
How the human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure?
The human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure by setting the pace at which it beats and maintains blood flow. When a heart rate increases, blood pressure will rise, and when a heart rate decreases, blood pressure will drop.
What is the component of plasma that maintains the osmotic pressure of blood?
The component of plasma that maintains the osmotic pressure of blood is protein. The protein albumin and others maintain osmotic pressure in blood.
Which type of blood vessel exhibits elastic recoil to maintain diastolic blood pressure?
Arteries!
How does venous circulation help to maintain blood pressure when hemorrhaging causes blood loss?
carefully
How do arteries respond to sudden blood loss?
They constrict in order to try and maintain blood pressure.
Why is it important that the veins contain valves?
to maintain blood flow and pressure
What helps to maintain a stable internal environment?
Homeostasis means to maintain a stable internal environment. Lack of homeostasis is disease. All of the body organs do this. They keep the systems working at a set range. Blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. The main organs involved are the liver, kidneys, lungs and nervous system.
