What are the three classes of mechanoreceptors?

The three classes of mechanoreceptors are proprioceptors (detect body position and movement), tactile receptors (detect touch, pressure, and vibration), and baroreceptors (detect pressure changes in blood vessels).


Control mechanism that lower blood pressure in response to a rapid rise in blood pressure are called?

Baroreceptors are the control mechanisms that detect changes in blood pressure and help regulate it. When there is a rapid rise in blood pressure, baroreceptors signal the body to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and reducing the heart rate.


What the purpose of the baroreceptors?

Baroreceptors are specialized sensory receptors located primarily in the walls of blood vessels, particularly in the carotid sinus and aortic arch. Their main purpose is to detect changes in blood pressure by sensing the stretch of the vessel walls. When blood pressure rises or falls, baroreceptors send signals to the central nervous system, which then initiates appropriate autonomic responses to regulate heart rate and vascular resistance, helping to maintain stable blood pressure levels.


Which organ senses the bodys blood pressure?

The baroreceptors located in the walls of the arteries and veins are responsible for sensing changes in blood pressure. These receptors send signals to the brain to help regulate blood pressure levels in the body.


What is the term means situated nearest to the midline or beginning of a body structure?

The term that means situated nearest to the midline or beginning of a body structure is "medial." In anatomical terminology, structures that are medial are located closer to the center of the body or the point of origin, as opposed to being lateral, which refers to being farther from the midline.
