Chapter 18, Problem 9CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The description of baroreceptor reflex changes that occur to maintain the blood pressure when a person rises from a lying down to a standing position.
Introduction:
The baroreceptors are also known as mechanoreceptors. As the name suggests, these receptors help in sensing the blood pressure changes in the heart due to any physical stimulation to the body. The baroreceptors facilitate the baroreflex mechanism to execute a fast response to any change in the blood pressure.
