Figure 3. An example of a rapidly adapting receptor from a rabbit with chronic pulmonary venous congestion.

Figure 3

Response of the rapidly adapting receptor to acute elevation of left atrial pressure by 5 and 10 mmHg, before (A) and after (B) the hypertonic albumin infusion. (i) Initial control period, (ii) LAP +5 mmHg and (iii) LAP +10 mmHg. Note that after the hypertonic albumin infusion, there was a significant increase in receptor activity when the LAP was elevated. TP, tracheal pressure; LAP, left atrial pressure; AP, action potentials; DS, discriminator signal; BP, blood pressure.
