Abstract
In this chapter, we examine the vasculature and how blood flows round the body. We then introduce the study of blood flow and how it can be modelled using very simple techniques, using the equivalent electrical circuit as an example. We will also look at how blood flow is measured and how it is controlled to maintain adequate supply to the body. ? Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
