Sensory nerve endings in the walls of the auricles of the heart, carotid artery sinus, vena cava, and aortic arch that respond to changes in pressure.<\/p>\n

Middle ear inflammation caused by changes in atmospheric pressure, such as in a descending airplane or in deep-sea diving.<\/p>\n

\n

A collection of sensory nerve endings specialized to monitor changes in blood pressure. The main receptors lie in the carotid sinuses and the aortic arch; others are found in the walls of other large arteries and veins and some within the walls of the heart. Impulses from the receptors reach centers in the medulla; from here autonomic activity is directed so that the heart rate and resistance of the peripheral blood vessels can be adjusted appropriately.<\/p>\n

\n

Specialized nerve ending which lines certain blood vessels and acts as a stretch receptor in the carotid sinus, aortic arch, atria, pulmonary veins and left ventricle. Increased pressure in these structures increases the rate of discharge of the baroreceptors. This information is relayed to the medulla and is important in the control of blood pressure.<\/p>\n

\n

A sensory nerve ending stimulated by changes in pressure. Baroreceptors are found in the walls of the cardiac atria, the vena cava, aortic arch. The baroreceptors of the lung are stretch receptors that are stimulated by inflation.<\/p>\n
