# Reveresed quick acting nervous system mechanisms that influence heart rate when triggered.

989
# Reveresed produced by a group of mechanoreceptors that are found w/in walls of the heart. the reflex is activated when pressure rises w/in the large arteries above 60 mm Hg. peak in activity at approx 180 mm Hg. results in vasodilation secondary to inhibition of the vasomotor centers w/in the medulla as well as a decrease in heart rate and strength of contraction secondary to vagal stimulation

# Reveresed occurs when mechanoreceptors embedded within the right atrial myocardium respond to an increase in pressure and stretch (distention of the right atrium). stimulates the vasomotor centers of the medulla and results in increased sympathetic input and heart rate. reflex can also influence a decrease in heart rate when heart is beating too fast.
