Synopsis

This book examines the distribution of blood flow and its regulation in humans, and illuminates the overall control of the human cardiovascular system. The book brings together discussions of how peripheral vascular beds are controlled in humans, how these control mechanisms interact with those of cardiac performance and the central circulation, and how this vasomotor regulation serves the whole organism, especially under conditions of stress such as exercise, heat, and decreased oxygen supply.
