peripheral resistance

• Increase in CO or R

both increase pressure 



• Pressure always 

changes to force CO to 

equal runoff flow

Peripheral Pulse Pressure

• Pressure wave velocity

p

 = k/C



– v

p

 increases along the 



arteries and with age

• Pressure wave pulse 

amplitude grows with 

distance from heart

– reflection/superposition

– decrease in C

– dispersion

Venous System



Bioengineering 6000 CV Physiology

Arterial System

Venous System

• Venous volume

– Large volume, low pressure system

– Reservoir of blood (50% of total volume)

– Blood loss covered by venous system

• Vasoconstriction, drinking (blood doning)

• Venous flow

– Skeletal muscle activity

– Valves

– Breathing

– Paristaltic contractions in venules 

Bioengineering 6000 CV Physiology

Arterial System

Venous Valves

• Muscle pump

• Unidirectional flow

• Vericose veins

Measurement



Bioengineering 6000 CV Physiology

Arterial System

Measuring Blood Pressure: Catheters

• Liquid column and 

external manometer

– frequency response of 

transducer and fluid 

column


– calibration and zeroing

– motion artifacts

• Manometer-tipped 

catheters

– higher frequency 

response


– less motion artifact

Auscultatory Blood Pressure Method

• Effect of arm position

• Alternate measurement 

locations (leg)

• Pressure varies during the 

day (lowest during sleep)

• Psychological bias in 

measurements (in subject 

and operator)

• Electromagnetic 

flowmeter (velocity) 

• Thermal dilution

• Functional MRI (diffusion 

or oxygenation)
