 Fig. 1. In vitro system. P, Pneumatic pump; R, resistance modulator; TC, thermally regulated chamber containing Tyrode’s solution at 37 °C and oxygen bubbles B, Reservoir: contains Tyrode solution at 37 °C. PK, pressure signals; D, diameter signals; PC, personal computer. Arrows indicate flow direction.
