<p>Baroreceptors are stretch receptors that sense changes in blood pressure. Their firing rate increases when blood pressure increases and decreases when blood pressure decreases.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The nervous control of arterial pressure allows for rapid changes in arterial pressure. It can increase arterial pressure to 2x normal within 5-10 seconds and decrease arterial pressure to 50% normal within 10-40 seconds.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The purpose of controlling blood pressure is to maintain tissue perfusion throughout the body and to keep a relatively constant arterial blood pressure. Blood pressure that is too low can result in inadequate blood flow to organs, while blood pressure that is too high can cause damage to vessels and organs.</p> Signup and view all the answers
