Abstract

Arterial baroreflexes have been extensively studied in experimental animals and a large body of information has been collected. It has been shown that 1. baroreceptors in both the carotid sinuses and the aortic arch exert an important circulatory control; 2. this control is partly different for these two reflexogenic areas and is not exerted uniformly on the various cardiovascular effectors; 3. it is deranged, sometimes to a marked degree, in a number of pathological conditions [13].
