Explanation / Answer

Stretch receptors are also called baroreceptors. They respond to the pressure induced stretching of the blood vessel. Baroflex or baroreceptor flex is one of the body's homeostatic mechanism that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant. These stretch receptors help in the secretion of some components like ANF (Atrial Natriuretic Factor), ADH (Antidiuretic hormone), angiotensin etc. When these stretch receptors in the atria sense expension they immediately send signals to medulla oblongata through vagus nerve and glassopharyngeal nerve. After that it helps to normalise the blood pressure.
