Potentiates integrated reflex vascular control beyond additive effects; leaves open clinical translation to orthostasis or exercise.

Removal of the inhibitory influence of cardiopulmonary receptors by pooling blood in the lower extremities enhances the somatic reflex, demonstrating an interaction between cardiopulmonary and somatic reflexes in human vascular control.
Walker et al. (1980) studied this question.
