The endocrine system (specifically pituitary gland and adrenal gland (cortex)) secrete hormones (ADH - antidiuretic hormone & aldosterone) which cause the kidneys to reabsorb salt. This, in turn, causes the kidneys to increase water re-absorption. All of this increases blood volume, which increases blood pressure.

Alternatively, ANH (Atrial Natriuretic Hormone) is secreted by the atrium of the heart. This causes the kidneys to reabsorb less sodium (and less water) which decreases blood volume and decreases blood pressure.

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine are released from the adrenal glands (medulla) during short-term stressful events, which increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction and slows digestion and bowel movements.
