Effect of Drugs on the Blood Pressure of the Spinalised Cat (2 Parts)

Synopsis
Studies effects of autonomic drugs and blocking agents on the components of the cardiovascular system in vivo. The cardiovascular system of an animal is a closed system in which a pump (the heart) forces fluid (blood) through a complex of tubes (the vascular system). The pressure in the cardiovascular system is therefore modified by procedures which (a) modify the cardiac output; (b) modify the blood volume or viscosity; or (c) modify the peripheral resistance of the vascular system. Physiological control of the blood pressure is provided by the autonomic nervous system. The heart is innervated by both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems (the vagus and cervical respectively).
