Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason explaining the carotid sinus to be the preferable location of baroreceptors as compared to the abdominal aorta or common iliac arteries.
Introduction:
The baroreceptors are a type of receptors that sense changes in the pressure. These receptors are present in the carotid sinus and aortic arch.

A pulse can be felt in the following arteries: superficial temporal, facial, common carotid, brachial, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis (Figure 20.8b). Name the artery from which each artery listed branches. Here is an example to get you started: The superficial temporal artery is a branch of the external carotid artery.
The anatomical guide for the ulnar artery states that it lies:
Lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and medial to the tendon of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle.
Medial to the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and lateral to the tendon of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle.
Lateral to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle.
Directly medial and deep to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle.
The artery which terminates at the inferior border of the teres major muscle is the:
Subclavian
Vertebral
Axillary
Brachial
The linear guide for the common carotid artery may be described as a point from the __________ to the anterior surface of the lobe of the ear.
Mastoid process of the temporal bone
Sternocleidomastoid muscle
Sternocleidomastoid articulation
Sternocleidomastoid artifact
Low blood pressure is detected by sensory receptors called baroreceptors. Where in the body do we find baroreceptors? brachial artery, aortic arc, or inferior vena cava.
