Arterial Baroreceptor Regulation of Peripheral Resistance and of Cardiac Performance

  • Chapter
Baroreceptor Reflexes

Abstract

The arterial baroreceptor reflexes act to maintain arterial pressure constant at a set point or operating point. The operating point is determined by the mean arterial pressure and by the arterial pulse pressure. In resting man or resting experimental animals, it is the pressure when there are no obvious internal or external stresses or perturbations which might alter the pressure. The set point may vary with state, as in exercise or rest, or with emotional stress. Over the short term, the reflex operates to minimize changes from the set point which might occur with such stresses as blood loss or positional changes. The set point appears to be altered during exercise, but newer information indicates that the reflex functions much as it does at rest [169]. (See also the review by Ludbrook [133] and the chapter by Joyner and Shepherd in this volume.) Loss of these reflexes impairs or may even destroy the ability to respond properly to some external stimuli or to disease states. (See chapter on heart failure by Thames and Dibner-Dunlap in this volume.)
