Baroreceptors

What are baroreceptors? "Baro-" means pressure or stretch, so baroreceptors are special nerve cells or receptors that sense blood pressure, by the way that the walls of the blood vessels stretch. That information is sent from the baroreceptors to the brain to help keep blood pressure balanced.

I keep having to relearn about baroreceptors. Did not realize there were two types until this video.
The vasomotor baroreceptors when stretched (because of increased blood pressure) will fire more and decrease CO.
But the cardiopulm baroreceptors when stretched (because of more blood volume) will fire more and increase CO?

[@sunnyalladi99]

Correct

[@roxannlegg750]

this is so helpful, even tho ive finished my med sci course, im still learning soo much. Thankyou!

[@osmosis]

Glad it was helpful! 💕

[@roxylalondes]

Your guys content is sooo helpful. I actually find it fun to watch too which is insane lol. I'll be sure to pass the nclex cuz of yall!!!

[@osmosis]

Awesome! Best of luck! 🙏🏼

[@omarjelani1632]

increased blood volume will increase CO?? if the pressure is already high why would u increase CO and increase it more.
Also, kidney autoregulatory mechanism aims to keep GFR constant with BP/CO fluctuations so how will increased CO reduce blood volume?

Are aortic baroreceptors sending impulses through the left vagus only?
