Abstract
It is well known that there are sensory receptors in the heart and lungs which, excited by chemical agents, cause inhibitory reflexes consisting of fall in arterial blood pressure and heart rate accompanied by changes in respiratory movements (Dawes and Comroe, 1954; Linden, 1973). There is also agreement that peripheral blood vessels are supplied with sensory nerve fibres, subserving pain-sensibility, peculiarly sensitive to stimuli of chemical kind. The stimulation of these algoceptive afferents in the muscular circulatory area induces a series of excitatory reflex responses consisting of behavioral agitation, vocalization, rise in blood pressure, tachycardia and hypertachypnea (Moore et al. 1934; Lim, 1960; Guzman et al. 1962).
