Cervical spinal cord section causes an immediate rise in CF, MABP, and HR. The increase in these cardiovascular parameters is due to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, as indicated by the diminished response after treatment with sympatholytic agents, Hexameton and Guanethidine, and by the rise in blood catecholamines.
