Sympathetic nerves
During exercise the
sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. The catecholamines released
as well as direct stimulation on the heart result in a faster heart rate
as well as increased contractility which raises cardiac output. This
increases the rate of volume/pressure rise into the vasculature (dp/dt).
This increases BP.
