Abstract:It is commonly held that the stimulation of the carotid sinus nerve produces a fall in blood pressure. In a number of experiments, however, stimulation of the carotid sinus nerve in cats has given the opposite result.Cats were anaesthetized by intravenous injection of chloralose (0*08-01 g./kg. body weight). The carotid sinus nerve was exposed and stimulated using a square wave electronic stimulator. This device allowed independent Chloralose anaesthesia.variation of frequency of stimuli (1.5-100 cyc./sec.), p… Show more
