What is a major difference in the way baroreceptors and chemoreceptors work compared to the way the kidneys work in regulating blood pressure?
Answer choices
A.
Baroreceptors and chemoreceptors both work within the walls of the arteries, sending out nerve impulses to raise or lower blood pressure quickly, whereas the kidneys help control blood pressure more slowly by regulating blood volume.
B.
Baroreceptors and chemoreceptors both work to help maintain blood volume directly, whereas the kidneys only take care of salts, water, and waste removal without affecting blood pressure.
C.
Baroreceptors and chemoreceptors must work together to control blood pressure, whereas the kidneys can only regulate blood pressure in cooperation with the adrenal cortex.
D.
Baroreceptors and chemoreceptors are both located near the adrenal cortex, whereas the kidneys are located near the heart.
