After the baroreceptor detect low blood pressure, there is a sympathetic activation, by the brain, of the vagal nerve causing vasodilation of veins and arterioles, decreased of heart rate and strength of contraction of the heart.
A sympathetic activation and a parasympathetic inhibition allows the baroreflex to elevate blood pressure.
