KROK 1 2014 – Question 158 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
A fixed-run taxi passenger has a sudden and expressed attack of tachycardia. A doctor travelling by the same taxi has managed to slow down his heart rate by pressing upon the eyeballs and thus causing the following reflex:
- A. Dagnini-Aschner reflex
- B. Bainbridge reflex
- C. Holtz’s reflex
- D. Hering-Breuer reflex
- E. Frank-Starling mechanism
Hint
Ask which cardiac reflex starts with a stimulus applied to the eyeballs, and through which efferent pathway it slows the heart.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
