When blood pressure increases, baroreceptors send impulses to the cardioinhibitory center, which slows heart rate via the parasympathetic nerve.
Quando la pressione sanguigna aumenta, i barorecettori inviano impulsi al centro cardioinibitorio, che rallenta la frequenza cardiaca tramite il nervo parasimpatico.
| Front | What happens when blood pressure increases? |
|---|---|
| Back | - baroreceptors in aortic arch and carotid arteries - detect increase in blood pressure - send impulses to cardio inhibitory centre in medulla oblongata - CIC sends more impulses to SA node - via parasympathetic nerve - heart rate decreases |
