When the blood pressure is low, baroreceptor firing is reduced and this in turn results in augmented sympathetic outflow and increased norepinephrine release on the heart and blood vessels, increasing blood pressure.
How do baroreceptors affect blood pressure?
The SA node is slowed by the acetylcholine and heart rate slows to correct the increase in pressure. When a person has a sudden drop in blood pressure, for example standing up, the decreased blood pressure is sensed by baroreceptors as a decrease in tension therefore will decrease in the firing of impulses.
How do baroreceptors respond to low blood pressure?
Heart rate is slowed and vascular resistance is decreased, buffering the increase in blood pressure. Conversely, baroreceptor activity decreases when blood pressure falls, producing a reflex-mediated increase in heart rate and peripheral resistance.
