Abstract
A new model for the respiratory Control of the heart rate is suggested. The model includes the effect of pressoreceptor feedback in the production of the heart rate transient during respiration. The reflex is assumed to be initiated by a rate sensitive stretch receptor with varying compliances for inspiration and expiration. The effect of posture in altering the transient envelope is also considered.
