Demonstrates a local venoconstrictor reflex in response to congestion in human limbs that is nerve-dependent.
Using the occluded venous segment technique a venoconstrictor response to local congestion was demonstrated in human limbs. Though the response appears to be dependent upon nerves, it may or may not involve the central nervous system. Results are discussed in terms of the mechanism and functional significance of the local vascular ℌreflex.ℍ
