What role do baroreceptors play? Select one: O a. They respond to low oxygen levels and direct kidney function to correct this O b. They are found in the lungs and respond to atmospheric pressure, and therefore monitor ambient oxygen levels O c. They are found in the hypothalamus and measure blood osmolarity O d. They monitor blood flow to the heart and lungs, but play no part outside of this O e. They monitor arterial blood pressure directly and send this information to the CNS
