Atrial volume receptors, also known as atrial stretch receptors or volume receptors, are specialized sensory nerve endings located in the walls of the atria (the upper chambers) of the heart. These receptors play a critical role in the regulation of cardiovascular function by detecting changes in the volume and pressure of blood in the atria.
