| Abstract | Multi-unit recordings of muscle-nerve sympathetic activity (m.s.a) or skin-nerve sympathetic activity (s.s.a) were made in the left peroneal nerve of sixteen healthy volunteers during simulated diving by immersion of the face in a tub of water. The procedure was varied by the use of different water temperatures, by diving with snorkel breathing, by apnoea without diving, and by apnoea with a stream of air against the face instead of immersion in water. Diving for 12 s elicited a pronounced activation of m.s.a., the mean increase from control periods being 360%. The response was stronger with lower water temperatures. Immersion of the whole face evoked a stronger increase in m.s.a. than immersion of mouth and nose only. Diving without apnoea elicited a significant but weaker increase in m.s.a., whereas apnoea only for 12 s did not influence the sympathetic outflow. Cool air against the face during apnoea for 12 s was associated with a significant increase in m.s.a. The increase in m.s.a. usually occurred before the bradycardia. On emersion, m.s.a. ceased abruptly, whereas the bradycardia persisted for a few seconds. Mental arithmetic during diving did not change the m.s.a. response but reduced the bradycardia. M.s.a. increased despite increasing blood pressure levels. On emersion, m.s.a. did not reappear until the pre-diving blood pressure level was attained. S.s.a was inhibited on diving, with concomitant vasodilatation in the skin as recorded in the big toe. It is concluded that the response of m.s.a. to diving is initiated by a central 'pattern recognition' of an input from facial receptors, that this input and the effects of apnoea, acting by mutual reinforcement, maintain the strong sympathetic outflow, and that the mechanism releasing m.s.a. on diving overrides the normal blood pressure regulatory function of m.s.a. Diving exerts differentiated influence on different parts of the sympathetic nervous system, as illustrated by the inhibition of s.s.a. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
