THE CHOLINERGIC COMPONENT IN THE REFLEX VASODILATATION ELICITED BY STIMULATION OF THE DEPRESSOR NERVES IN THE RABBIT

Zusammenfassung:1 The effects of the stimulation of the cephalic endings of the depressor nerve on the resistance in the perfused hindlimb were studied in the rabbit. 2 The vasodilatation thus elicited in the perfused hindlimb was reduced either by administration of guanethidine or by sympathectomy and abolished by subsequent treatment with atropine. 3 These data confirm the existence of two components in the genesis of the reflex vasodilatation: a passive component, due to the inhibition of sympathetic discharge, and an active component which in the rabbit is cholinergic in nature.
