Q

What is the carotid sinus?

What happens if you press on it?

A
  • Carotid sinus contains baroreceptors that are innvervated by glossopharyngeal N (CN 9).
  • Thus, indirectly modulates our parasympathetic and sympathetic in response to changes in BP.
  • Apply alot of pressure here -> increase BP -> makes you feel like you need to pass out.
