3. A large volume of blood is transfused to a person whose baroreceptor blood pressure
control system is not functioning and arterial blood pressure rises from the normal level
of 100 to 160 mm Hg. If the same volume of blood is infused into the same person when
the baroreceptor system is functioning and this time the arterial pressure increases from
the normal level from 100 mm Hg up to 120 mm Hg, calculate the gain of the
baroreceptor system in this person.
