A member asked:
How can it be that my blood pressure increases when my pulse rate goes low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carotid body : There is a set of receptors in the carotid arteries in the neck. Increased blood pressure can stretch the carotid arteries and stimulate the carotid bodies which slow the heart by sending a signal to the vagus nerve.
