[Application of mechanotronic transducers in experimental biological investigations]

Mechanotronic transducers applied usually in technical investigations for the measurement of displacements, tensions, pressures and other mechanical parameters have been studied to register the contractile activity of isolated organs (the frog heart ventricle, the rat ileum strips) and the blood pressure in anesthetized animals. It was found that the mechanotronic transducers are simple, convenient and reliable devices for such investigations.
