A. Chemo receptor
B. Mechano receptor
C. Photo receptor
D. Magneto receptor
Answer» B. Mechano receptor
Explanation: 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. Mechanore- ceptors are the sensory receptors that respond to any type of primary stimuli of pressure.
