Atrial volume receptors are a family of afferent neurons whose mechanically sensitive endings terminate in the atria, particularly at the cavo‐atrial junctions. These mechanosensors form the afferent limb of an atrial volume receptor reflex which reg...

Distribution and morphology of sensory and autonomic fibres in the subendocardial plexus of the rat heart (2020)
Journal Article

Cardiac reflexes originating from sensory receptors in the heart ensure blood supply to vital tissues and organs in the face of constantly changing demands. Atrial volume receptors are mechanically sensitive vagal afferents which relay to the medulla...
