This simulator visualizes how blood volume shifts from the central circulation into the legs and abdomen upon standing, and how the baroreflex response speed and strength determine whether blood pressure recovers or dips into dizzy territory.
Adjust variables like hydration level, age, and autonomic reflex strength, then trigger a stand-up event to watch venous pooling, cardiac output, and blood pressure respond in real time.
Sliders let you set hydration, age-related reflex sensitivity, and autonomic function, then simulate standing up to observe the resulting blood pressure curve.
The baroreflex can begin correcting blood pressure within one to two heartbeats of standing, making it one of the fastest homeostatic reflexes in the human body.
