| The best known and most extensively studied baroreceptors are those in the carotid sinuses, dilatations of the carotid arteries in the neck. |
|
| Centrally, there is reduced density and sensitivity of the baroreceptors and a down regulation of sympathetic receptors. |
|
| When the baroreceptors sense the slightest drop in pressure, a coordinated increase in sympathetic outflow occurs. |
|
| The vagus nerve transmits afferent signals from the aortic arch baroreceptors, regulating arterial pressure. |
|
| Neural and hormonal mechanisms mediate this tachycardia after arterial baroreceptors are stimulated. |
|
| In addition to arterial baroreceptors, low-pressure baroreceptors exist and these respond to the degree of stretch of veins and the cardiac atria. |
|
| The system works by electrically activating the baroreceptors, the body's natural sensors that regulate cardiovascular function. |
|
| They are believed to arise from pericytes of Zimmermann, which are baroreceptors found on blood vessel walls. |
|
| The authors concluded that arterial baroreceptors play a major role in long-term control of MAP under the conditions of a HNa diet. |
|
| The system works by electrically activating the baroreceptors located in the carotid artery, the body's natural blood pressure sensors that regulate cardiovascular function. |
