Document Summary

Slide 2: decreased mean arterial pressure is sensed by the baroreceptors, baroreceptors sense map pressure changes: decrease parasympathetic activity: increasing heart rate (as parasymp decreases the hr) I ncrease sympathetic activity: increases heart rate (due to pacemaker potential threshold being breeched faster); stroke volume increases [cardiac muscle cells have greater ca; decrease time in systole], total peripheral resistance increases due to vasoconstriction. as a result of the above, map increases. If map increases: baroreceptors sense pressure change. decrease sympathetic innervation: decreases hr, decreases stroke volume, and decreases tpr cause smooth muscles relax (vasodilation) Slide 4: we have 2 sets of baroreceptor cells, aortic arch baroreceptors: sense blood pressure changes in systematic circulation, carotid sinus baroreceptors: sense blood pressure of blood flowing to the brain. Slide 5: both sets of baroreceptors innervate the medulla and nts (cardiovascular centre) www. notesolution. com, cause changes to sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, hypothalamus (temperature; sws (later); cerebral cortex (emotions and pain)
