Proposed schema for modulating effects of sympathetic systems in the blood flow in rat masseter muscle. Noradrenaline (NA) released by cervical sympathetic nerve (cSN) may induce modulation of β-adrenergic vasodilation mediated by circulating adrenaline (AD) through the post-junctional α2-adrenoceptor (α2AR) in the blood vessels in the masseter muscle. α1AR α1-Adrenoceptor, βAR β-adrenoceptor
