Baroreceptors that function in the regulation of blood pressure are located in?
Baroreceptors regulate the blood pressure of all vertebrae and are located in the blood vessels. It is a type of mechanoreceptor which is excited when a blood vessel is stretched.
Where are the sensory receptors sensitive to changes in oxygen levels in the blood located?
The baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses, respond to changes and absolute levels of blood pressure. These nerves go to centers in the brain stem and trigger changes in heart rate and venous tone.
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.
What regulates blood pressure?

Where is the carotid sinus?
The heart is the organ involved in the carotid sinus. The heart pumps blood throughout the whole circulatory system, including the carotid sinus.
What artery is associated with the carotid sinus?
carotid
The carotid sinus reflex protects the blood supply to the brain whereas the aortic reflex is more concerned with maintaining adequate blood pressure in the systemic circuit as a whole?
True
What is a carotid sinus?
