Skeletal muscle chemoreflex in exercise Ventilatory control

Chapter
Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series (AEMB, volume 499)

Abstract

The mechanisms by which minute ventilation (VE) is tightly linked to the metabolic demands of exercising skeletal muscle remain uncertain. The idea that by-products of exercising muscle metabolism could stimulate peripheral afferent nerves communicating with regions of the central nervous system important in cardiorespiratory regulation (the skeletal muscle chemoreflex) is most compelling for the pressor response to exercise, but a growing body of literature suggests it is important in the control of ventilation as we.
