Atrial Receptors and Heart Volumes

  • Chapter
Control of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems in Health and Disease

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 381))

Abstract

The atrial receptors have reflex connections to the heart, such that on stimulation of the receptors there is an increase only in the heart rate; reflex connections to the kidney, causing an increase in water and sodium excretion and to the brain causing an inhibition of water intake.
