Figure 6. Afferent responses to mesenteric stretch at low and high intra-arterial pressure.

Figure 6

A, mesenteric afferent firing of the same unit evoked by stretching the mesentery with a load of 15 g at intra-arterial pressures of 5 mmHg and 60 mmHg. B, mean firing rates (Hz), averaged over the 20 s directly before the mesentery was stretched and the initial 20 s of stretch (10–15 g) are shown for 5 mmHg and 60 mmHg. Values shown are the average of 9 units from 6 animals. Both stretch sensitive and stretch insensitive units are included. C, mean change in firing rates (Hz) over the 20 s periods described in B.
