Q. |
Which is the sensory receptor involved in detecting blood pressure? |
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. |
