An upright posture comes with the risks of having to increase blood pressure to pump blood even higher to the brain while venous return to the heart, which is situated relatively high within the body, tends to decrease against gravitational stress
This is achieved via orthostatic cardiovascular responses, which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system as highly advanced coordinating reactions
Summary
