Left panel: Mock circulation including a pneumatic pump, a perfusion line connected to the chamber holding the vessel segment, a resistance modulator (R) and a reservoir. The chamber was filled with thermally controlled Tyrodes solution. The pressure (P) was measured with a micro-transducer, and the diameter (D) was measured with a pair of ultrasonic crystals controlled by a sonomicrometer. Right panel: Generic (species independent) sketch of the large arteries including the thoracic descending aorta and carotid artery.
