This review concerns the organization and function of arterial vasculature in Aplysia californica, especially the vasomotor reflexes that support circulatory homeostasis, and fixed patterns of response that may reroute blood flow during changes in behavioral state. The observations presented here raise three hypotheses for further study: 1) Arterial vasculature is functionally organized with precisely structured, independently regulated subdivisions; these are most evident for arterial systems serving digestive and reproductive processes; 2) arterial musculature is inherently responsive to local pressure changes, having both static and dynamic reflexes that promote efficient, evenly-distributed flow of blood; and 3) complex, long-lasting behaviors like egg laying have, as part of their makeup, equally prolonged and stereotypical changes in the pattern of circulation. Taken together, these observations support the view that maintenance and adjustment of blood flow in gastropod molluscs is an unexpectedly complex and highly integrated component of behavior.
本综述关注加州海兔动脉血管系统的组织和功能，特别是支持循环稳态的血管运动反射，以及在行为状态变化期间可能重新引导血流的固定反应模式。本文提出的观察结果引发了三个有待进一步研究的假设：1）动脉血管系统在功能上由结构精确、独立调节的亚部分组成；这在为消化和生殖过程服务的动脉系统中最为明显；2）动脉肌肉组织对局部压力变化具有内在反应性，具有促进血液高效、均匀分布的静态和动态反射；3）像产卵这样复杂、持久的行为，其组成部分包括同样持久且刻板的循环模式变化。综上所述，这些观察结果支持这样一种观点，即腹足纲软体动物中血流的维持和调节是行为中一个出人意料地复杂且高度整合的组成部分。
