The regulation of blood pressure is primarily autonomic, controlled by the autonomic nervous system. It involves reflexes that can adjust heart rate, blood vessel diameter, and volume of blood in circulation to maintain blood pressure within a normal range. Somatic control, which involves conscious effort, is not a significant factor in regulating blood pressure.
No, the regulation of blood pressure is not considered a somatic reflex. It is primarily controlled by autonomic reflexes involving the cardiovascular system, which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and hormones. Somatic reflexes typically involve skeletal muscles and are responsible for voluntary movements.
Heart rate, blood pressure regulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and bladder control would be most directly affected by a diseased autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls these involuntary bodily functions.
The thalamus does not directly control blood pressure. It is primarily involved in relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. Blood pressure is mainly regulated by the brainstem and the autonomic nervous system.
Autonomic centers that control blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion are primarily located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata. These centers are part of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary physiological processes in the body to maintain homeostasis. The medulla oblongata plays a crucial role in coordinating these autonomic functions.
The medulla oblongata deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.

The somatic nerves control the voluntary cells which are under conscious control. If you want to walk, and do so, this is a voluntary motion. The autonomic nerves control the involuntary motions of your body. These nerves keep check of your body by maintaining temperature, composition of blood, heart beat, digestion, and excretion. These are actions that you do not think about. Even stress when your blood pressure, pulse rate, and blood sugar become elevated, is controlled by the autonomic nerves. The somatic and autonomic systems work together. Skin exposed to cold air becomes "blue," this is autonomic. At the same time impulses are sent to the brain for sensations of cold, this is somatic.

Autonomic body functions are involuntary processes controlled by the autonomic nervous system, such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood pressure. These functions are not under conscious control and operate automatically to maintain the body's internal balance, or homeostasis.
Cardiac autonomic activity was not measurably different in prone and supine postures, but heart rate and blood pressure were. Although heart rate variability parameters indicated sympathetic dominance during sitting, blood pressure was higher in the prone posture. These differences should be considered when autonomic regulation of cardiovascular function is studied in different postures.
