Contributions to Vasomotor Tone and Vascular Communication

Part of the book series: Vascular Biomedicine ((VB))

Abstract

The vasculature functions as an integrated system composed of a series of vessels of different fonns and functions. One might logically ask if such a series of longitudinal parts is integrated along its longitudinal axis? eginning in the early 1920s, occasional observations made it clear that infonnation capable of coordinating vasomotor responses could be transferred along the vascular bed. Krogh observed and reported responses that spread well beyond the site of direct stimulation of an arteriole,1 and conduit vessels have been seen to dilate at locations far removed from the vascular segments controlling flow.2-5 In 1970, two papers were published that made it clear that the preceding results reflected the existence of two quite different mechanisms for longitudinal communication in the vasculature. First, flow per se was found to be a determinant of vasomotor tone in the conduit vessels.6 Second, a conducting as sensors that communicate by conduction with their parent arterioles,42,106 this process could serve to explain some long-standing issues in relation to establishing a match between tissue metabolic demand and tissue O2 supply.
