what is the difference between a baroreceptor and a proprioceptor?

Baroreceptors: are nerves which detect changes in the level of arterial blood pressure, in much the same way as a barometer detects changes in atmospheric pressure. These nerves are found in the walls of certain arteries and are stimulated by the stretch of the artery due to changes in the pressure of the blood. Stretch of the receptors gives rise to nerve impulses, which travel to the brain.

Proprioceptor: A sensory receptor, found chiefly in muscles, tendons, joints, and the inner ear, that detects the motion or position of the body or a limb by responding to stimuli arising within the organism.

Baroreceptors are in the human body and it detects the pressure of blood flowing through them, and can send messages to the central nervous system to increase or decrease total peripheral resistance and cardiac output.

Proprioceptor is a sensory receptor, found chiefly in muscles, tendons, joints, and the inner ear, that detects the motion or position of the body.

Both Differences

Baroreceptor cells respond to pressure and Proprioreceptor cells respond to motion, position or balance .
