If fetal arterial pressure begins to A. BARORECEPTORS CAUSE
fall below normal levels: VASOCONSTRICTION AND INCREASE THE FHR
An increase in arterial blood pressure produces
vessel distension and causes arterial
baroreceptors to send neuronal messages to the
cardioinhibitory center, which in turn causes rapid
slowing of the fetal heart rate via the
parasympathetic vagus nerve. A decrease in
arterial pressure results in an increased heart
rate.
