Chapter 9, Problem 9.30P
The output from a resting healthy human adult heart is about 5 L/min. We can estimate that the mean systemic pressure is 95 mm Hg with a mean atrial pressure of 4 mm Hg. The mean pulmonary pressure is 15 mm Hg with an atrial pressure of 2 mm Hg. Compare the vascular resistance of the left (systemic) circulation to that of the right (pulmonary) circulation. Assume that the flow remains laminar.
