Baroreceptors in the Feedback System That Control Blood Pressure Sense

Question

Baroreceptors in the feedback system that control blood pressure sense changes in the
A)rate of blood flow through the aorta.
B)force of the blood as it presses against the walls of blood vessels.
C)temperature of the blood.
D)amount of stretch on the heart as it fills with blood.

Baroreceptors sense changes in the force of the blood as it presses against the walls of blood vessels. These receptors are located in the walls of the aorta, carotid arteries, and other large vessels and respond to changes in blood pressure by sending signals to the brain to regulate blood pressure.
