what is carotid sinus and what does it do
slight dilation of common carotid, receptors that sense blood pressure
what does carotid body sense
oxygen content
when the carotid sinus is hypersensitive to pressure it produces _____ heart rate, and a _____ in blood pressure and fainting. this is known as
slow, drop
carotid sinus hypersensitivity syndrome
carotid bodies exist at the _____ and monitor the oxygen content of blood before it reaches the brain
carotid sinus
adjustments to heart rate, resp rate, and blood pressure can be made accordingly based on the oxygen content in carotid sinus via
glossopharyngeal nerve and vagus nerve
thyroid gland has a right and left lobe connected by
isthmus
