[Macro- and micro-hemocirculatory shifts in the small intestine during pressor reflexes]

In acute experiments on cats, effects of occlusion of common carotid arteries, stimulation of afferent fibers of the brachial plexus, application of acetylcholine to reflexogenous zones of peritoneum and mesentery of the small intestine on macro- and microcirculation of the isolated small intestine perfused under constant flow, were studied. Under effects of occlusion and afferent stimulation, arteries and veins of the small intestine were constricted, whereas in stimulation of abdominal reflexogenous zones their reactions were different. All the reflexes induced augmentation of the capillary hydrostatic pressure, capillary filtration coefficient and post-capillary resistance, whereas decreasing the venous vessels distention.
