The arterial compartment carries blood away from the heart, beginning with the aorta and extending, in an ever-branching manner, to all of the organ systems and tissues. The arterial system is a high-pressure circuit, and the large conduit arteries receive the full pressure and flow of the ...
A fluid miscible with blood (e.g., a dextrose or saline solution) and at a lower temperature is injected into the coronary sinus at a constant rate, and the resulting change in temperature is detected a short distance downstream (Ganz et al., 1971). The cold fluid mixes with blood in ...

Other than to have a semicircular hole at its beginning, it is also white and contains aqueous humor; not so far from its beginning, it divides into two parts that early reunite in a unique structure along the left side of the vertebral column, without branches, that crosses the diaphragm ...

flow of blood and the flow of dialysate may be controlled via respective pumps, including a blood pump612and a fluid pump620. Heparin622, a blood thinner, may be used in conjunction with saline624to ensure blood clots do not form or occlude blood flow through the system....
