The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2
and CO2 and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular, and humoral responses to …

The discovery of the sensory nature of the carotid body dates back to the beginning of the
20th century. Following these seminal discoveries, research into carotid body mechanisms …

Autonomic nervous system adjustments to the heart and blood vessels are necessary for
mediating the cardiovascular responses required to meet the metabolic demands of working …

During dynamic exercise, mechanisms controlling the cardiovascular apparatus operate to
provide adequate oxygen to fulfill metabolic demand of exercising muscles and to guarantee …

Sympathetically induced vasoconstrictor modulation of local vasodilation occurs in
contracting skeletal muscle during exercise to ensure appropriate perfusion of a large active …

During exercise by healthy mammals, alveolar ventilation and alveolar‐capillary diffusion
increase in proportion to the increase in metabolic rate to prevent PaCO2 from increasing …

Appropriate cardiovascular adjustment is necessary to meet the metabolic demands of
working skeletal muscle during exercise. The sympathetic nervous system plays a crucial …

The cardiovascular response to exercise is largely determined by neurocirculatory control
mechanisms that help to raise blood pressure and modulate vascular resistance which, in …

New findings What is the topic of this review? The autonomic nervous system plays a key
role in bringing about the cardiovascular responses to exercise necessitated by the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Herein, we summarize recent advances which provide new
insights into the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of blood flow and blood …
