Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Abaroreceptor is a receptor that is sensitive to changes in pressure. They are found in the atria of the heart and vena cava, but the most sensitive baroreflex is in the aortic arch and carotid sinuses.

They are stretch-sensitive mechanoreceptors. They respond very fast when there is a change in the blood pressure.

Thebaroreceptor reflexis a fascinating medical event. The baroreceptor reflex is also termed as baroreflex. The reflex is controlled by specific neurons that respond only in a fraction of a second to keep blood pressure literally compatible.
