Summary

Denervation of sinocarotid zones causes a stable decrease in the saturation of the arterial blood by oxygen and a decrease of the volume of lung ventilation in cats and rabbits. Only short decrease of saturation was noted during denervation of the spleen and removal of the femoral nerves. This was due to the section of the nerves and irritation of the peritoneum. An important role is played by the reflex component in regulation of the saturation of the arterial blood by oxygen.
