Regulates blood pressure within seconds Life saving reflex Also called baroreflex or sino-aortic reflex
Afferent pathway
Hering nerve branch of 9th cranial nerve afferent from carotid sinus Aortic nerve branch of 10th cranial nerve afferent from aortic arch
Centers
Centers for Baroreceptors reflex are medullary cardiovascular center which are of two types1. Vasomotor center 2. Cardioinhibitory center
Vasomotor center
1. Vagus nerve
originate from
Responses
Depends on 1. Nature of change in blood pressure (increases or decreases) 2. Degree and rate of change in blood pressure.
Increased discharge in 9th and 10th cranial nerve Stimulation of NTS Activation of vagus nerve Decreased heart beat Inhibition of VMC Decreased myocardial contractility Decreased cardiac output Decreased blood pressure Vasodilation
Types of response
1. Dynamic or Phasic response Response to change in pulse pressure
2.
3.
