Muscle mechanoreflex elicits pressor responses via dorsal roots in animals; leaves open translation to human exercise hemodynamics or disease.
Does mechanical stimulation of skeletal muscle mechanoreceptors elicit a reflex cardiovascular response?
Mechanical stimulation of skeletal muscle mechanoreceptors via stretch or pressure elicits a significant reflex cardiovascular response that is mediated by dorsal roots.
Stebbins et al. (1988) studied this question.
