Abstract
The interruption of central excitatory or suprasegmental reflex impulses for heat production, sweat and vasoconstriction produces defects in regulation of sweat, heat and blood pressure. Central inhibitory impulses leading to diminished chemical heat production, when interrupted, result in increase over normal hyperpyrexia as the result of immersion in hot water. Interruption of inhibitory impulses from suprasegmental levels results in excessive reflex hypertension and sweating.Keywords
