What sensory receptors are located in blood vessels and visceral organs and their signals are not usually consciously perceived?
Interoceptors or visceroceptors

Interoceptors or visceroceptors
What are the receptors that trigger responses that control blood pressure as the blood vessels stretch?
Baroreceptors
Bloold pressure receptors are found in the?
Baroreceptor's are located in the blood vessels and act as blood pressure receptors to communicate through the nervous system to regulate and control increases and decreases in blood pressure
Why is epinpherine a vasoconstrictor and bronchodilator?
coz it works on alpha 1 adrenergic receptors in small blood vessels causing vasoconstriction and hence increase blood pressure (contrary to its action on skeletal muscles) it is also working on B2 adrenergic receptors causing bronchodilation
Stimulation of alpha-adrenergic receptors results in?
constriction of the blood vessels
What is non nociceptors?
Nociceptors are pain receptors that are especially abundant in the upper skin, joint capsules, the periosteum of bone and the walls of blood vessels. Very few pain receptors are located in visceral deep tissue. The three types of pain receptors are those sensitive to temperature extremes, those sensitive to mechanical damage, and those sensitive to chemicals.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Where are Nerves and blood vessels in the skin located in?
The dermis, or lower layer of the skin, contains blood vessels and sensory nerve endings

What organ does adrenaline target?
Adrenaline targets various organs,mainly - the Heart, Blood vessels, Smooth muscles(of bronchi, uterus, gastrointestinal tract,bladder etc.), the eye (radial muscles of iris), skeletal muscles (central nervous system also, but weak effect is seen there), metabolic actions (via liver)It acts via various alpha and beta receptors present at these target organs.Its main actions can be simplified as below:Heart-via beta 1 receptors-Adrenaline increases the Heart rate, force of contraction, cardiac output and conduction velocityBlood vessels-via alpha and beta2 receptors causes constriction mainly in vessels of skin, kidneys and dilatation in vessels of skeletal muscles, liver.Bronchial smooth muscles - via beta2 receptors- causes broncho dilatation.Blood pressure- overall rise in blood pressureEye- via alpha1 receptors- contraction of radial muscles if iris,therefore increases size of pupil (mydriasis)CNS- restlessness, apprehension, tremorsMetabolic action- rise in blood glucose levels, lactic acid level, free fatty acid levels.
What neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system?
The two parts of the peripheral nervous system are somatic and visceral. P.S.- The former innervates the skin,joints and muscles whereas the latter to the internal organs, blood vessels and glands. The latter is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic (like the reins of a horse).
