NERVOUS REGULATION OF CIRCULATION

One of the most important functions of nervous control of the circulation is its capability to cause rapid increases in arterial pressure. For this purpose, the entire vasoconstrictor and cardioaccelerator functions of the sympathetic nervous system are stimulated together.

At the end of the lesson student should able to learn about:

  • Autonomic nervous system.
  • Control of the sympathetic vasconstrictor system by the central nervous system.
  • Role of the nervous system in rapid control of arterial pressure.
  • Reflex mechanism help maintain normal arterial pressure.
  • The central nervous system ischemic response raises arterial pressure in response to diminshed blood flow in the brain's vascometer center.
  •
