Fig. 4. The effect of mean cardiac output during dives
(
d, expressed as a
percentage of nominal resting
) on (A)
surface intervals (ts) and (B) dive durations
(td). Circles, effect of varying
d by changes in
arterio-venous shunt flow
(

);
black diamonds, effect of varying
d by changes in
cardiorespiratory coupling (via

for details); white diamonds, effect of hypoxia
(FIO 2=0.15) on the responses to
varying
;
triangles, effect of elimination of splenic contraction on the responses to
varying
.
