Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vasomotor center of the brain receives information from baroreceptors (located in the walls of blood vessels) and chemoreceptors (located in the carotid and aortic bodies) to regulate blood pressure by raising or lowering it. The anterior and posterior pituitary, adrenal medulla, and adrenal cortex are not directly involved in blood pressure regulation by the vasomotor center. The medulla oblongata and chemoreceptor trigger zone may play a role in regulating respiration and vomiting, but not blood pressure.
