What's the difference between pneumogastric and vagal?
Pneumogastric
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the lungs and the stomach.
(n.) The pneumogastric nerve.
Example Sentences:
(1) Neuropathologic examination showed neuronal loss in substantia nigra and left locus ceruleus, dorsal nucleus of the pneumogastric nerve and Meynert's basal nuclei on both sides.
Vagal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the vagus, or pneumogastric nerves; pneumogastric.
Example Sentences:
(1) Limitations include the facts that the tracer inventory requires a minimal survival period, can only be done postmortem, and has low resolution for cuts of the vagal hepatic branch.
(2) These differences in central connectivity mirror the reports on behavioral dissociation of the facial and vagal gustatory systems.
(3) These results are consistent with a possible physiological role for medullary TRH in the vagal regulation of gastric contractility.
(4) Maximal hyperpolarizations (approximately or equal to 24 mV for sinoatrial node; 26 mV for atrioventricular node) were reached about 500 msec after initiation of the vagal train.
(5) The subjects (n = 9) received indomethacin prior to gastric perfusion at pH greater than 7 or less than 2 and subsequent vagal stimulation.
(6) The differential results obtained in the present series of experiments with vagotomy and NaCl-induced short-term and long-term aversion learning suggest that the vagal system plays a decisive role in tasks requiring the rapid detection of an aversive substance in the gastrointestinal tract (short-term tasks).
(7) In the challenged guinea pigs, pilocarpine did not inhibit vagally induced bronchoconstriction.
(8) Thus, angiographic dye appears to decrease heart rate by a direct effect on pacemaker tissue and by reflex vagal suppression of the sinus pacemaker.
(9) The tidal volume increase under CO2 inhalation was suppressed by the inflation reflex but other afferent vagal nerves seemed to be closely associated with the increased respiratory rate.
(10) The vagally induced pyloric contraction was resistant to atropine but sensitive to SPA and hexamethonium, indicating involvement of SP in the activation of preganglionic neurons as well.
(11) In anaesthetised dogs, the effects on heart rate of the cholinomimetic bethanechol were unaltered by sympathetic stimulation or administration of NPY sufficient to cause prolonged inhibition of cardiac vagal action.
(12) Between one-third to one-half of the vagal cells innervating the fundus and corpus were concentrated under the area postrema.
(13) Parasympathetic pathways mediating chronotropic and dromotropic responses to cervical vagal stimulation were determined from sequential, restricted, intrapericardial dissection around major cardiac vessels.
(14) Surgical removal is the treatment of choice with vagal tumors.
(15) The changes in plasma concentrations of immunoreactive vasopressin (iVP) and atrial natriuretic factor (iANF) in response to haemorrhage (10-30% blood volume) were measured in 10 anaesthetized rabbits before and after cardiac receptor denervation (vagal nerve section).
(16) The results indicate that NTS neurons containing a GRP-like peptide connect the rostral and caudal regions of the dorsal vagal complex by way of longitudinal nerve tracts descending NTS and TS.
(17) Vagal blockade reversibly inhibited the rise of plasma PP and significantly blunted the elevation of plasma VIP.
(18) In anesthetized cats, direct neural recording of vagal activity to the heart confirmed that vigorous reflex vagal activation during acute myocardial ischemia is associated with protection from ventricular fibrillation.
(19) The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the vagal function of trained (T) and sedentary (S) rats by use of different approaches in the same animal.
(20) The gastrointestinal territories innervated by the gastric, celiac, and hepatic abdominal vagi were identified in rats with selective branch vagotomies by means of 1) anterograde tracing with the carbocyanine dye DiI injected into the dorsal motor nucleus and 2) measurement of cervical vagal stimulation-induced motility responses throughout the gut axis.
