Which is the sensory receptor involved in detecting blood pressure?
-
- Chemo receptor
- Mechano receptor
- Photo receptor
- Magneto receptor
Correct Option: B
Baroreceptors are sensors located in the blood vessels of all vertebrate animals that sense the blood pressure and relay the information to the brain, so that a proper blood pressure can be maintained. They are a type of mechanoreceptor sensory neuron that is excited by stretch of the blood vessel. Mechanoreceptors are the sensory receptors that respond to any type of primary stimuli of pressure.
