Abstract
Baroreceptors sense and signal the central nervous system of changes in arterial pressure through a series of sensory processes. An increase in arterial pressure causes vascular distension and baroreceptor deformation, the magnitude of which depends on the mechanical viscoelastic properties of the v …
