Cardiac and Respiratory Interactions Maintaining Homeostasis During Sleep

  • Chapter
Clinical Physiology of Sleep

Part of the book series: Clinical Physiology ((CLINPHY))

Abstract

an important aspect of retaining homeostasis during sleep is maintenance of control over two qualitatively different types of musculature: that essential for oxygen exchange and that essential for blood transport. Maintaining coordination of these two motor systems, one supplied by motor control to the somatic musculature (i.e., diaphragmatic, intercostal, abdominal, and upper airway musculature) and the other supplied by motor control to the “autonomic” musculature (i.e., heart and vasculature), is a formidable task during sleep. Activity of the respiratory somatic musculature changes greatly between different sleep states, as do rate and variability of cardiac pumping and the tone of vasculature in different body areas. The respiratory and cardiovascular systems are tightly interrelated, however, and alterations from one sleep state to another in one system are accompanied by changes in the other. The coupling of activity between the two systems is relevant to certain pathological states, since dysfunction in one system can be associated with rapid onset of failure in the other. In addition, activity of both somatic respiratory and autonomic cardiovascular systems is greatly dependent on, and coordinated with, activity in the postural and limb somatic musculature, which in turn is also dependent on sleep state.
