Arterial and cardiopulmonary reflexes in the regulation of the neurohumoral drive to the circulation.
The integrative reflex control of the neurohumoral drive to the circulation by unmyelinated vagal afferents and arterial baroreceptor afferents is often complex and depends on a number of factors. These include 1) the initial condition or the existing inhibitory influence exerted by one receptor station, 2) alteration in gain or central response of one reflex as a result of afferent information from the other system, and 3) altered receptor sensitivity as a result of reflex changes in sympathetic outflow. With respect to the cardiopulmonary and arterial baroreflex control of renin release, the accompanying reflex hemodynamic changes may influence the magnitude of the renin response. Finally, recent data suggest that reflex increases in vasopressin by either reflex system may result in an inhibitory influence on sympathetic outflow. Thus, in this latter case, a central interaction results between two reflex responses.
