FLOW OF BLOOD THROUGH BONES AND JOINTS 



1663 



no change in outflow from the joint was observed. 

 Repetition of carotid occlusion after sympathectomy 

 always produced an increase in flow. Lowering of 

 systemic pressure by hemorrhage results in a decrease 

 in joint blood flow which may cease if the blood loss 

 is great enough. 



The vasoconstrictor action of Adrenalin, measured 

 as a decrease in blood flow (27), can also be produced 

 by means of Noradrenalin. Such effects are seen in 

 both innervated and denervated vessels. Acetylcholine 

 has a marked vasodilator action on innervated and 

 denervated vessels.
