A customer comes to you at the pharmacy and tells you that she has been to her doctor because she feels dizzy every time she gets out of bed in the morning, but she did not understand the explanation the doctor gave her. Your task is to describe the barostatic reflex for her so that she understands what is happening, why she is dizzy and how her body responds. In the description you must have stated: which sensory receptors are involved in this reflex, which nerves carry the information into the brain, which parts of the brain process this information, which nerves are embedded in the response sent from the CNS to the circulatory system, which transmitter substances are released, which receptors are involved and what the effect will be.
