Summary Introduction
To write:
The nature of the baroreceptor reflex if blood pressure is increased
Introduction:
The baroreceptors are the sensory receptors, which can sense the changes in the pressure inside the body. They play a very important role in sensing and maintenance of the blood pressure in the body.
