Q

What is the Bainbridge reflex and what does it result in?

A

an increase in venous return stretches receptors in the wall of the right atrium which sends vagal afferent signals to the cardiovascular center within the medulla. The signal inhibits parasympathetic activity, resulting in an increased heart rate

Q

When is the Chemoreceptor Reflex activated and what does it result in?

A

at an arterial partial oxygen pressure of less than 50 mmHg or in conditions of acidosis chemosensitive cells located in carotid bodies and the aortic body stimulate respiratory centers and increased the depth and rate of ventilation. This also activates the PNS reducing HR and myocardial contractility
