[Analysis of the relationship between pulmonary volume and the rate of pulmonary stretch receptor discharge in cats].
The "frequency of discharges vs. lung volume" ratio could be either linear (25 fibers, 24%), or breaking to linear pieces (24 fibers, 23%), or nonlinear (57 fibers, 53%). The nonlinear ratio was approximated with equation f=KVn+C, where f - frequency of discharges, V - volume of lung inflation, K and C - constant, the total less than 1. Afferent output from pulmonary stretch receptors increases in linear proportion to the volume of lung inflation.
