What else can I help you with?
What are examples of an exteroceptor?
Baroreceptor
What is a baroreflex?
A baroreflex is a reflex which results from stimulation of a baroreceptor.
What is the baroreceptor reflux?
Detects changes in blood pressure.
What receptor will respond when vessel walls stretch?
A baroreceptor responds to stretch.
Where are the sensors for the arterial baroreceptor located?
In the carotid sinus and the aortic arch
Why diaphoresis occurs in acute myocardial infarction?
Sympathetic nervous system response/ baroreceptor response
What is a baroceptor?
A baroceptor is another term for a baroreceptor - a nerve ending which is sensitive to changes in blood pressure.
Which Nerve cells monitor the flow of blood and transfer this information to the brain?
These are the baroreceptor cells present in Neck.
Which part of the brain participates in the baroreceptor reflex?
The medulla oblongata, specifically the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), is involved in regulating the baroreceptor reflex. The NTS receives input from baroreceptors located in blood vessels, helping to control blood pressure and heart rate.
Is the left ventricular wall a site of arterial baroreceptor?
The baroreceptors are located in carotid sinus. They are not located in your left or right ventricles.
With reference to the baroreceptor reflex explain why a person who is dehydrated or who has lost a lot of blood has a rapid pulse and cold clammy skin?
When the baroreceptors detect the loss of pressure, they try to return pressure to a homeostatic level. In order to do this, they constrict the blood vessels, which raises the pressure by having the same amount of blood within a smaller "container". The capillaries near the skin will aid in this by restricting flow, causing the skin to be cold and clammy. The baroreceptor reflex also raises the heart rate, which also has the affect of raising blood pressure.
Increases actions regulated by the nervous system such as heart rate and blood pressure?
This is the function of the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses. It stimulates the heart to beat faster and increases blood pressure to provide more oxygen and nutrients to muscles during times of stress or danger.
