Why might exercising on a very hot day result in fainting?
Carotid Sinus Massage is used as a clinical tool in the diagnosis of certain cardiovascular disorders. In addition, it’s simply a cool bit of physiology that highlights part of the baroreceptor reflex.
In simple terms, what effect(s) do/does the manual massaging of the carotid sinus have on the above-noted effector(s)? Why?
It is thought that the elderly tend to have hypersensitivity with this reflex; often contributing to death. It’s also believed that this response partially contributes to death by hanging or by manual strangulation. Briefly describe how this too is consistent with your understanding of the reflex.
39. A 66-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department because of light-headedness for 3 hours. Her pulse is 160/min. An ECG shows a re-entrant atrioventricular
tachycardia. After carotid sinus massage is done, her sinus rhythm returns to normal. Which of the following changes in nervous system activity best explains the mechanism of
action that restored normal sinus rhythm in this patient?
