Do emotional and physical stimuli affect pressure (tone) in an isolated peripheral vein segment in healthy males?
Do emotional and physical stimuli affect pressure (tone) in an isolated peripheral vein segment in healthy males?
Emotional stimuli are highly effective at increasing venous tone in isolated peripheral vein segments in healthy males.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Emotional stimuli predominate in isolated venous tone; hypothesis-generating for autonomic regulation, needs confirmation in intact circulation before clinical relevance.
Generalized alterations in venous tone may shift large amounts of blood within the vascular system. Both physical and emotional stimuli are capable of affecting venous tone. The present report is a study in healthy males of the effects of certain of these factors on pressure (tone) in a peripheral vein segment isolated by means of specially designed, Plexiglas vein occluders. The emotional stimuli employed were the most effective of the group in increasing venous tone.
