What is the largest vessel that is attached to the heart and what does it do?
The largest vessel attached to the heart is the Aorta, and it is responsible for delivering blood to the body. It is categorized in 2 groups, the Ascending Aorta and the Descending Aorta. The Ascending aorta includes the Carotid Arteries, which deliver blood to the brain, and the Subclavian Arteries, which brings blood to the arms. The Descending Aorta is located in the thoracic cavity with the rest of the heart and Aorta and is the part of the Aorta that curves down toward the bottom of the body and branches off into other arteries which supply the bottom portion of the body with blood.

Where is blood pressure is the greatest?
in the arteries
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 baroreceptors located?
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.
What blood vessels have the highest amount of pressure exerted on them?

To the neck and head, and the arteries are the Right and Left Coronary Arteries
Bloold pressure receptors are found in the?

When is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest?
when it just come out from the heart at the aorta
In which kind of blood vessel is blood pressure highest?
