[The role of endogenous bioregulators in formation of cardiogenic reflex effects on circulation]
Abstract:
The possible role of endogenous endothelium-derived bioactive substances in organization of cardiogenic depressor reflexes under cardiac receptor stimulation (by veratrine and bradykinin) was investigated in acute experiments on anesthetized rats. The results have shown that endothelium-derived bioactive substances take part in forming of the cardiogenic depressor reflex humoral components of nervous response or nervous modulators. These data contribute to understanding of the role of endogenous endothelium-derived bioactive substances (prostacyclin) and different NOS isoforms in mechanisms of depressor reflex development and species differences in their involvement in reflex vasomotor reactions.

Chemical Signaling in Autoregulation
Chemical signaling operates at the precapillary sphincter level, inciting either contraction or relaxation.
Regulation of Heart Rates
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
Regulation of the Cardiovascular System
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...
