Question
Chapter 53, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The reflex of baroreceptors in case of increased blood pressure.
Introduction: Special pressure sensitive regions regulate the blood pressure of vertebrates. These regions contain the nerve ending of neuron and are present on the wall of some large arteries in mammals. These regions are known as baroreceptors.
