Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Baroreceptors are stretch receptors found in the aorta and common carotid arteries that detect changes in blood pressure. They send information to the cardioregulatory center, located in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem, to adjust heart rate and maintain blood pressure within a normal range. Proprioceptors detect changes in body position or movement, nociceptors detect pain, and photoreceptors detect light.
