Do Baroreceptors Detect Stretch?

Do Baroreceptors Detect Stretch? Baroreceptors are mechanoreceptors located in blood vessels near the heart that provide the brain with information pertaining to blood volume and pressure, by detecting the level of stretch on vascular walls. Are stretch receptors the same as baroreceptors? Arterial baroreceptors are stretch receptors that are stimulated by distortion of the arterial

What Happens When Baroreceptors Are Stimulated?

What Happens When Baroreceptors Are Stimulated? Increased stimulation of the nucleus tractus solitarius by arterial baroreceptors results in increased inhibition of the tonically active sympathetic outflow to peripheral vasculature, resulting in vasodilation and decreased peripheral vascular resistance. What happens to heart rate when baroreceptors are stimulated? When blood pressure drops too low, the rate of
