When blood pressure rises, the carotid and aortic sinuses are distended further, resulting in increased stretch and, therefore, a greater degree of activation of the baroreceptors. At normal resting blood pressures, many baroreceptors are actively reporting blood pressure information and the baroreflex is actively modulating autonomic activity.
Low pressure baroreceptors have both circulatory and renal effects, which produce changes in hormone secretion. Stimulation of these receptors causes the atria to release atrial natriuretic peptide. This hormone acts on the kidneys to increase sodium excretion, which increases urine production and thereby leads to a decrease in blood pressure.
Baroreflex: When the stretch receptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinus increase, the blood pressure is considered to be elevated and the heart rate decreases to lower blood pressure. Antidiuretic hormone : The hypothalamus detects the extracellular fluid hyperosmolality and the posterior pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone to ...
Natriuretic peptides have a wide range of physiological effects that include the regulation of blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and cardiovascular function. [1] They are also involved in the regulation of vascular remodeling, inflammation, and apoptosis. One of the major clinical applications of natriuretic peptides is the ...

High blood pressure is caused by the force of blood flow in the arteries being too high. The DASH diet includes heart-healthy foods that lower blood pressure. 21 foods that lower blood pressure ...
Baroreceptors respond very quickly to maintain a stable blood pressure, but their responses diminish with time and thus are most effective for conveying short term changes in blood pressure. In people with essential hypertension the baroreceptors and their reflexes change and function to maintain the elevated blood pressure as if normal.
“Music is great for influencing your mood, but it shouldn’t be your only wellness strategy,” Dr. Conley says. “I suggest scheduling time for hobbies , friends and activities that you enjoy.
