Neurons in the rostral ventrolateral nu- sulting in increased heart rate, stroke volume, and SVR; this cleus (RVL) are normally active and provide tonic excita- tory activity to the spinal cord. Specific pools of neurons within the RVL have actions on heart and blood vessels. RVL neurons are critical in mediating reflex inhibition or activating sympathetic firing to the heart and blood vessels. The cell bodies of cardiac preganglionic parasympathetic neurons are located in the nucleus ambiguus; the activity of these neurons is influenced by reflex input, as well as in- put from respiratory neurons. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia, described in Chapter 13, is primarily the result of the influ- ence of medullary respiratory neurons that inhibit firing of preganglionic parasympathetic neurons during inspiration and excite these neurons during expiration. The Baroreceptor Reflex Is Important in the Regulation of Arterial Pressure The most important reflex behavior of the cardiovascular system originates in mechanoreceptors located in the aorta, carotid sinuses, atria, ventricles, and pulmonary vessels. These mechanoreceptors are sensitive to the stretch of the walls of these structures. An intervention elevates ar- Mechanoreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinuses are terial pressure (either mean arterial pressure or pulse pressure), called baroreceptors. Mechanoreceptors in the atria, ven- stretches the baroreceptors, and initiates the reflex. The resulting tricles, and pulmonary vessels are referred to as low-pres- reduced systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output return ar- sure baroreceptors or cardiopulmonary baroreceptors. CHAPTER 18 Control Mechanisms in Circulatory Function 293 returns blood pressure toward the normal level. If the fall in mean arterial pressure is very large, increased sympathetic neural activity to veins is added to the above responses, causing contraction of the venous smooth muscle and re- ducing venous compliance. Decreased venous compliance shifts blood toward the central blood volume, increasing right atrial pressure and, in turn, stroke volume. The baroreceptor reflex influences hormone levels in addition to vascular and cardiac muscle.
