The lengths of the first 7 arteries are based on magnetic resonance angiography on a healthy female (25 years old, 172 cm, 71 kg). The reference pressure is assumed to be 10 mmHg. The position of the centerline G(s) along each of these 7 arteries is also available as Supplementary Material. Other data are from Mynard and Smolich (2015). l: length of the artery; Inline graphic: constant radius of the lumen along the artery; R0, R1: resistances in the arteriolar compartments following terminal arteries (see Equation 19); C1: peripheral compliance associated to the arterioles.

Artery considered in the 1D model, but not segmented and thus not included in the BCG computation.
