Question

Which type of receptors respond to pressure changes in liquids and gases?
A) baroreceptors
B) Golgi tendon organ
C) muscle spindles
D) proprioceptors

Baroreceptors are specialized receptors that respond to changes in pressure in liquids (such as blood pressure) and gases (such as changes in atmospheric pressure). Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindles, and proprioceptors are receptors that are involved in monitoring muscle and joint position and movement.
