Background Carotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) is an exaggerated response to carotid sinus baroreceptor stimulation. It results in dizziness or syncope from transient diminished cerebral perfusion. Although baroreceptor function usually diminishes with age, some people experience hypersensitive carotid baroreflexes.

- Adrenergic receptor. The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Many cells possess these receptors, and the binding of a catecholamine to the receptor will generally stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.

- To put it in a nutshell benzene is more stable than cyclohexane because of involvement of resonance in case of benzene.the resonance provides extra stability to tue structure,while there is no such resonance( only inductive effect working) in case of cyclohexane.

Sense of Taste | Types, Taste Centers (Brain), Appetite Effects Taste Centers in the Brain As explained under Taste Buds, food and substances dissolved in the saliva enter the taste pores where it makes contact with the microvilli of the taste (gustatory cells). This then triggers a depolarization of the taste cell membrane, a subsequent release of neurotransmitters and stimulation of the surrounding nerve fibers. Signals from the nerve fibers of the taste buds travels via cranial nerves VII, IX and X to the tractus solitarius (gustatory area) located in the posterior brain stem. From here neurons transmit signals to the thalamus (ventral posterior medial nucleus).

Special Sensory Figure 7-18a. Chorda tympani and the lingual nerve. Chemoreceptors of the taste buds located on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and hard and soft palates initiate receptor (generator) potentials in response to chemical stimuli. The taste buds synapse with the peripheral processes of special sensory neurons from CN VII.

Picture of the Carotid Artery The carotid sinus, or carotid bulb, is a widening of a carotid artery at its main branch point. The carotid sinus contains sensors that help regulate blood pressure. The carotid artery pulse can normally be felt in the neck by pressing the fingertips against the side of the windpipe, or trachea. Stroke: A sudden blood clot in the carotid artery can interrupt blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke. 2  Fragments of cholesterol plaque in the carotid artery may also travel into the brain to cause a stroke.

Structure and Function: Sensory Receptors Smell. Olfactory receptors in the roof of the nasal cavity are stimulated by odours. Nerve impulses from these receptors travel to the olfactory bulb (the end of the olfactory nerve) and then to the olfactory centres in the brain.

- Important baroreceptors are found in the aorta and the carotid sinus. If the blood pressure within the aorta or carotid sinus increases, the walls of the arteries stretch and stimulate increased activity within the baroreceptors.

Carotid body The carotid body is made up of two types of cells, called glomus cells: glomus type I (chief) cells, and glomus type II (sustentacular) cells.

Carotid bruit A carotid bruit is a systolic sound heard over the carotid artery area during auscultation. It may occur as the result of carotid artery stenosis (though some disagree); however, most carotid bruits, particularly those found in younger or asymptomatic patients, are not related to any disease and are termed innocent carotid bruits.

cervical sinus afferent fibers are in the sinus nerve; these connect with the cardioinhibitory and vasomotor centers which control blood pressure and heart rate via sympathetic fibers to blood vessels; provides a route for the sinus reflex which relates pressure in the carotid sinus to the performance of the circulatory system.

Anatomy and Function of the Heart's Electrical System How does the heart beat? An electrical stimulus is generated in a specialized part of the heart muscle called the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). The sinus node is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber of the heart). In an adult, the sinus node generates a regular electrical stimulus 60 to 100 times per minute.

Carotid body The carotid body detects changes in the composition of arterial blood flowing through it, mainly the partial pressure of oxygen, but also of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, it is also sensitive to changes in pH and temperature.

Acid Stimulation (Sour Taste) Elicits GABA and Serotonin Release from Mouse Taste Cells This result was consistent with the failure of taste stimulation of taste buds, which evokes ATP secretion from Receptor cells, to trigger GABA secretion (Fig. 2D). In marked contrast, acetic acid stimulated Ca 2+ influx in Presynaptic cells and triggered GABA release (Fig. 3C).reviously, we demonstrated that ATP stimulates isolated Presynaptic cells to secrete 5-HT in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner, indicative of P2Y-mediated intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization and not Ca 2+ influx [12] . Here, as with taste buds (above), we tested whether ATP stimulated isolated Presynaptic cells to release GABA.

- During this syndrome the carotid sinus artery may become very sensitive to any form of stimulation and as a result can affect heart rate, amount of blood reaching the brain and blood pressure. This is known as CSH or Carotid Sinus Hypersensitivity.

- Blood pressure balance and homeostatic balance are the two major functions of the carotid sinus reflex found in the Carotid artery. When this artery is over stimulated due to massages or pressure in this area, impulses are sent which affects normal blood pressure levels and heart beat (bradycardia).

Brownian motion Brownian motion or pedesis is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid resulting from their collision with the fast-moving molecules in the fluid. This pattern of motion typically alternates random fluctuations in a particle's position inside a fluid sub-domain with a relocation to another sub-domain. Each relocation is followed by more fluctuations within the new closed volume. This pattern describes a fluid at thermal equilibrium, defined by a given temperature. Within such fluid th
