baroreceptors
stretch in arterial wall
Visceroceptors are sensory receptors located within the internal organs, primarily in the walls of the viscera such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system. They are responsible for detecting changes in the internal environment, such as pressure, stretch, and chemical composition. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating autonomic functions and maintaining homeostasis.
Viseroreceptors are found in various internal organs, particularly within the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system. They are specialized sensory receptors that detect changes in the internal environment, such as pressure, stretch, and chemical composition. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating autonomic functions by sending information about visceral conditions to the central nervous system.
Cardiovascular system.
The alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors are found throughout the body, including the cardiovascular system, smooth muscle, and glands. However, they are not typically located in the brain.
It uses the Latin words for heart (cardio) and a small vessel (vasculum).
The cardiovascular system.
The cardiovascular system.
When the bladder walls stretch due to filling with urine, specialized nerve endings called stretch receptors become activated. These receptors send signals to the brain indicating that the bladder is full, which triggers the urge to urinate. This process is part of the autonomic nervous system's regulation of bladder function, allowing for voluntary control over urination. As a result, the brain coordinates the relaxation of the bladder sphincter, facilitating the release of urine.
The system that pumps blood and includes the heart is called the cardiovascular system.
The sensory receptors that detect change are called mechanoreceptors. These receptors are sensitive to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, and stretch, allowing the body to detect changes in its environment. Examples of mechanoreceptors include Pacinian corpuscles and Merkel cells.
