“…12,13 In response to hypovolaemia, stimulation of cardiac sensory receptors in the left ventricle induces the BJR and results in reflex bradycardia, vasodilation and hypotension. [12][13][14] Chemoreceptors are activated in response to decreased blood volume by serotonin, 5,13 which is released from activated thrombocytes. 5,15,16 Activation of 5-HT3 receptors, which are G protein coupled, ligand-gated fast-ion channels, results in increased efferent vagal nerve activity, 13 frequently producing bradycardia.…”
