Accepted Answer

Baroreceptors are specialized nerve cells that monitor changes in blood pressure. They are located in the walls of the blood vessels and detect changes in the stretching of the vessel walls. The information they provide helps regulate blood pressure by stimulating changes in heart rate and the constriction or relaxation of blood vessels.
