Study Notes
A Century of Exercise Physiology: Key Concepts in Neural Control of Circulation
-
Cannon's Homeostasis Hypothesis: Walter B. Cannon introduced the concept of homeostasis—maintaining physiological values within a narrow range—essential for life even during stress. Physical exercise is a significant stressor requiring integration of motor, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems to match oxygen delivery with need at the cellular level. This includes thermoregulation, blood pressure regulation, and efficient energy provision.
-
Blood Pressure Regulation: Blood pressure control during exercise is a complex, controlled variable involving cardiac output and vascular resistance (conductance).
-
Autonomic Nervous System's Role: The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial coordinating role in blood pressure regulation during exercise.
-
Early 20th Century Discoveries: Several landmark studies between 1903 and 1932 significantly advanced our understanding of how the autonomic nervous system modifies cardiovascular function during exercise. These findings laid the groundwork for modern exercise physiology.
-
Central Command: Krogh and Lindhard (1913) proposed a central cerebral cortex neural mechanism, now known as "central command," coordinating cardiovascular and motor function.
-
Neurovascular Transduction: Adrian et al. (1932) directly recorded sympathetic activity. This work established a pathway to study brain signals influencing the circulation. Cannon (1933) defined circulating catecholamines (e.g., norepinephrine) as sympathetic neurotransmitters in relation to vascular responses (neurovascular transduction). This understanding is crucial in comprehending muscle blood flow regulation during exercise.
-
Exercise and Blood Pressure Changes: The relationship between exercise and blood pressure changes emerged in the 1880s. Early recordings (Gordon 1907) showed that prolonged submaximal exercise led to small blood pressure increases. However, blood pressure increases substantially more during the later stages of incremental whole body exercise (~50mmHg).
-
Importance of Volitional Effort: Elevated volitional effort influences heart rate responses to prolonged exercise. Peripheral sensors in fatigued muscles are essential for subsequent sympathetic responses - despite stopping the exercise or voluntary effort, the reflex continues.
-
Role of Central Command and Brain Regions: Accumulating evidence points to a crucial role for cerebral cortex sites in autonomic function, including the medial prefrontal cortex, insula cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. The insula cortex, particularly its anterior portion, seems associated with rapid tachycardia and cardo-vascular control during exertion. The medial prefrontal cortex plays a role in modulating cardiovascular function. The impact of stroke involving the insula cortex on blood pressure and catastrophic arrhythmias is highlighted to illustrate the delicate balance between central control and autonomic functioning.
-
Neurovascular Transduction and Cardiovascular Rhythms: Sympathetic nerve activity to muscles exhibits rhythms linked to cardiac cycles, offering an insight into communication between the brain and end organs. Specific neurons in the ventrolateral medulla are involved. The variability in sympathetic nerve activity helps fine-tune responses related to end-organ function.
-
Multiple Sensory Inputs in Regulation: Multiple sources of sensory information—muscle metabolites, muscle tension, and baroreceptors—affect cardiovascular adjustments, with a complex interplay during exercise.
