METHODSTen adult cats were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of Dial with urethanl(Ciba; 0.6 ml/kg body wt). The trachea was cannulated and breathing was spontaneous. Systemic arterial pressure was measured from a femoral arterial cannula connected to a Statham pressure transducer (P23AC). M USC e I action potentials were detected with fine bipolar wire electrodes inserted into the diaphragm at its sternal attachment and into the exposed oblique abdominal muscle. The action potentials from the two muscles were amplified and “integrated” by two Grass EMG preamplifiers (model 5P3) and recorded on separate channels of a Grass polygraph(model 7). The EMGs of the two muscles were monitored visually on an oscilloscope and aurally via an audioamplifier and speaker, To evoke active expiration the animal was subjected to continuous positive-pressure breathing by connecting the tracheal cannula to a large reservoir, a 55-gal drum, in which the pressure could be adjusted from-20 to+ 20 cmHg0. Reservoir pressure was monitored on a water manometer. Rebreathing effects were avoided by frequent flushing of the drum and by having the animal breathe to and from the drum only during the short exposures to the ventilatory stress. Carotid sinus baroreceptor firing was decreased by occluding the common carotid arteries by tightening clamps or ligatures previously placed around the vessels. It soon became apparent that occlusion of the right common carotid artery failed to evoke reproducible reflex responses unless the artery was initially cleaned and stripped. Figure 1, adapted from Boss and Green’s papers (10, 1 I, 2 I, ZZ), shows that baroreceptors in the right carotid of the cat are not confined to the carotid bifurcation, but have a much wider distribution. By histological and electrophysiological techniques Boss and Green demonstrated baroreceptors at the level of the superior thyroid artery, receiving innervation from a branch of the vagus nerve, and in several other areas along the right common artery from the subclavian artery to the external and internal carotid bifurcation. Each baroreceptor
