| Reflexes Circulatory:
- Carotid sinus and aortic
arch: increase in arterial blood
pressure would stimulate baroreceptors that send
impulses to the medulla oblongata to stimulate
the CIC resluting in Bradychardia.
- Right atrium Distension
stimulates stretch receptors that woudl inhibit
the CIC resulting in tachycardia (Bainbridge
Reflex)
- Chemoreceptors in Lt
Ventricles that are stimulated by
chemical compounds (e.g. nicotine) resulting in
Bradychardia.
- Aortic and carotid Bodies
chemoreceptors are sensitive to changes
in the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations
as well as pH. A decrease in oxygen, an increase
in carbon dioxide and a decrease inpH result in
tachycardia.
Extracirculatory:
- Lungs: inflatiopnof
the lungs result in stimulation of stretch
receptors in the bronchi and bronchioles resultin
in inhibition of the CIC - Tachycardia
- Skeletal Muscles:
contraction of skeletal muscles causes
tachycardia.
- Trigger zones:
Heavy blow to certain areas of the body (larynx,
abdomen or testes) can cause a strong vagal
response resultin in Bradycardia.
- Eyes - Occulo Cardiac
Reflex - Pressure over the eyes can
cause bradycardia
- Pain - Cutaneous or Deep
pain results in tachycardia while Visceral
pain results in bradycardia.
