Excerpt from The Fall of Blood-Pressure Resulting From the Stimulation of Afferent Nerves: A Thesis
Two effects are commonly said to be produced by the stimulation of the central end of a sensory nerve re¿ex constriction of many of the smaller arteries, principally those supplied by the splanchnic nerves, and (2) a re¿ex dilatation of others, especially those of the skeletal muscles and of the skin'. As the effect of the former is usually greater' than that of the latter, the result is a rise of arterial pressure. But a different result is often obtained, viz., a fall of arterial pressure. This latter result seems to have been first described by E. Oyon as following the stimulation of a sensory nerve of a rabbit under the in¿uence of chloral.
