what would happen if a person's baroreceptors stopped working?

A. The brain could not monitor the expansion and relaxation of the aorta.

B. blood pressure would fall to low to supply blood to the entire body

C. plaque would begin collecting and building up in the arteries.

D. The ventricles could not communicate with the central nervous system.

Answer 1

A. The brain could not monitor the expansion and relaxation of the aorta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baroreceptors are sensors present in the aortic arch and in the carotid sinus which are responsible to sense the blood pressure and brain the communicate this information to central nervous system for maintaining the blood pressure.

When baroreceptors stopped working or uring baroreceptor dysfunction, the blood pressure increases but returns to normal after an hour. In baroreceptor dysfunction, brain will be unable to monitor the expansion and relaxation of the aorta and results in the increase blood pressure. Soon the baroreflex occurs and helps in returning the pressure toward a normal level.

Hence, the correct option is A.
