Measurements of velocity profiles in arterial microvessels (20-103 mu in diameter) of rat mesentery and m. creamaster showed that bloodflow regimen under natural conditions can be similar to that of Newton fluid or pseudoplastic laminar stream, which indicates significant fluctuations in blood viscosity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
