An analog computer model demonstrates that proportional-plus-derivative control characteristics are necessary to replicate the stability of the biological carotid-sinus baroreceptor reflex in dogs.
A method has been worked out by which one of the closed control circuits in the blood‐pressure‐regulating system of the dog can be reversibly opened and closed again with the aid of an on‐line analog computer. This makes it possible to study the regulatory properties of the carotid‐sinus reflex, as regards the baroreceptor function, in the regulation of the systemic blood pressure. Proportional characteristics in the analog produce marked instability in the blood‐pressure regulation, while with increasing proportional‐plus‐derivative characteristics the stability is increased. The electronic analog can be given characteristics that produce the same step‐function response in the systemic pressure as the biological reflex.
