Baroreceptor reflex, true is
Basically, this reflex is initiated by stretch receptors, called either baroreceptors or pressoreceptors, located at specific points in the walls of several large systemic aeries. A rise in aerial pressure stretches the baroreceptors and causes them to transmit signals into the CNS. Ref: Guyton and Hall textbook of medical physiology 13th edition. Page: 219 When BP increases ,it stimulates baroreceptors in carotid Sinus and aoic arch that increases the nerve traffic in CN IX and X. This leads to excitation of the NTS in the medulla---- inhibits vasomotor centre interneurons. ---- decreases sympathetic output and causes vasodilatation, bradycardia,decrease in cardiac output and fall in BP. Excitation of NTS also directly inhibits hea by stimulating vagus nerve .
From aoic and carotid body
Causes aerial vasoconstriction when BP falls
Causes decrease in HR when BP increases
Causes increase in HR when BP increases
