Abstract

The cardiovascular responses to isometric contraction of the triceps surae muscle of one leg were determined before and after transecting the ipsilateral L₇ or L₆ and S₁ spinal roots. Sectioning only the L₇ spinal root slightly attenuated the pressor, but not the heart rate response induced by skeletal muscle contraction, while cutting the L₆ and S₁ spinal roots (L₇ intact) had no effect on the cardiovascular changes. This indicates that there is multiplicity in neural afferent pathways that mediate the exercise pressor reflex.
