There are receptors on the lining of the carotid artery that sense a change in blood pressure. When they are stimulated, they can cause a drop in blood pressure/heart rate.
There are baroreceptors located in the aorta and at the carotid bifurcation. These function to modulate the cardiac output and maintain normal blood pressure and an adequate perfusion pressure to the brain.

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.
Baroreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood pressure. The carotid sinus in the neck is one place where blood pressure is monitored and can be changed.
The human body is full of pressure points in various locations.
