Baroreceptor

Baroreceptor

Explain baroreceptor mechanism of regulation of blood pressure.
Answer:

• Baroreceptors are the receptors that give response to change in blood pressure
• They are sensitive to stretch

Action of baroreceptors:

1. Action on increase in arterial blood pressure

• Increase in arterial blood pressure
• Causes stimulation of baroreceptors
• Impulses are send to nucleus of tractus solitarius
• This acts on

1. Vasoconstrictor

• Inhibits it
• Reduces vasomotor tone
• Causes vasodilation

2. Vasodilator area

• Stimulates it
• Increases vasomotor tone
• Causes vasoconstriction

2. Action on decrease in arterial blood pressure

• Decrease in arterial blood pressure
• Causes inhibition of baroreceptors
• This inhibits nucleus of tractus solitarius
• Acts on
• Both normalizes the blood pressure

• Inhibits it
• Reduces vasomotor tone
• Causes vasodilation
