| 11. | Signals from the carotid baroreceptors are sent via the glossopharyngeal nerve ( cranial nerve X ).
|
| 12. | Baroreceptors are a type of mechanoreceptor sensory neuron that is excited by stretch of the blood vessel.
|
| 13. | Arterial baroreceptors are stretch receptors that are stimulated by distortion of the arterial wall when pressure changes.
|
| 14. | Baroreceptors can also become oversensitive in some people ( usually the carotid baroreceptors in older males ).
|
| 15. | Baroreceptors can also become oversensitive in some people ( usually the carotid baroreceptors in older males ).
|
| 16. | The cardiac centers monitor baroreceptor firing to maintain cardiac homeostasis, a mechanism called the baroreceptor reflex.
|
| 17. | The cardiac centers monitor baroreceptor firing to maintain cardiac homeostasis, a mechanism called the baroreceptor reflex.
|
| 18. | The baroreceptor reflex can correct for a change in arterial pressure by increasing or decreasing heart rate.
|
| 19. | Arterial baroreceptor sensory endings are simple, splayed nerve endings that lie in the tunica adventitia of the artery.
|
| 20. | Baroreceptors are stretch receptors and respond to the pressure induced stretching of the blood vessel in which they are found.
