Cardiovascular Mechanoreceptors

  • Chapter
Comparative Aspects of Mechanoreceptor Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 10))

Abstract

Cardiovascular mechanoreceptors are sensory nerve endings located throughout the cardiovascular system. These sensory endings are activated by mechanical deformation and transmit impulses to the central nervous system that provide information regarding stretch or filling of visceral organs, e.g., the heart, and changes in vascular pressure or volume.
