Figure 6. — Time courses of evolving inner radius (a,b) and wall thickness (c,d) for indicated changes in pressure P=γ P_h (left) and flow Q=ϵ Q_h (right) where kPa ∀s∈[0,1000] days. Expected values are indicated by corresponding arrows on the right ordinate. Note the delayed change in inner radius for cases of reduced flow (b), due to the vessel’s inability to instantaneously vasoregulate after the perturbation. This is consistent with the observation that arteries are insensitive to changes in flow when denuded of endothelium ().
