Where are the sensory receptors sensitive to changes in blood pressure located?

Answer 1

sensory receptors in terms of pressure receptors are located in the aortic arch and carotid sinus(present at the point of divergence of the internal carotid artey from the point of its origin in the catitid triangle in the anterior triangle of tthe neck at the kevel of the lower border of the thyroid cartilage). they sense a rise or fall in pressure and send impulse through the vagus and the glossopharyngeal nerve to the cardiac regulatory centre in the upper medulla to regulate the blood pressure. these receptors however become redundant if the pressure is maintained,i.e. if the pressure is maintained at 160mm of mercury, these receptors may initially sense the rise but eventually become adapted to the constancy of the high pressure. they are of significance in short term regulation of blood pressure.

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

I don't think there is a special kind of sensory receptor to know changes in blood pressure. You may know when your blood pressure turns abnormal when you feel certain symptoms, such as headache (because when your blood pressure turns abnormal, your body will suffer from its effect, such as lack of O2 when it turns lower than normal).
