Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In certain parts of your body, baroreceptors, which are special nerve endings, can “sense” artery wall stretch. This message goes to your brain, which interprets it as adequate blood pressure. In the absence of this stretch, your brain responds accordingly to raise your blood pressure.
