Influence of pressoreceptor stimulation on electrical activity of the ureter in anesthetized rabbits

|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
In a previous study, pressoreceptor stimulation was found to augment parasympathetic activity in the bladder. This investigation is a continuum to determine any influence of similar effects on the ureter. With equal urine flow, stimulation of pressoreceptors caused an increase in ureteral peristaltic activity. The exact mechanism of action was not determined.
