The frequency of action potentials in sensory nerves associated with the arterial baroreceptors is directly proportional to mean arterial pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The firing rate of action potentials in sensory nerves associated with the arterial baroreceptors increases with an increase in mean arterial pressure and decreases with a decrease in mean arterial pressure. This mechanism helps to regulate and maintain blood pressure within a normal range.
