Document Summary
*there is a strong correlation between inspiration and sympathetic activity. This is called respiratory modulation of sympathetic activity. * spontaneously hypertensive normal blood pressure in the first 5-6 weeks of life and then the shr would sky rocket up. This is a good model for human essential hypertension. Hypertension can be divided into two groups, one. * in response to exercise, there is a differential activation and potentially inhibition of sna to different nerve beds. This is unknown which parts of the brain are activated or inhibited to give this pattern of activity. * the hypothalamus is the master conductor & controller that is thought be key to giving patterns on autonomic activity. * the pituitary gland is one of the main outflows of information from the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary gland releases hormones into the circulation e. g. acth. So it stops the activity of gaba at this receptor.
