Abstract
The complex equilibrium existing between the pressure generated by the ventricle and the flow has been extensively investigated in mature circulation. Numerous difficulties in studying the relationship between the ventricle and the arterial compartment arise on account of rapid changes within the ventricle itself, i.e., in its dimension and contractility, as well as due to dynamic changes in the aorta and the associated arterial compartment [1]. A large amount of literature exists on the topic and only the aspect pertaining to embryonic circulation will be briefly discussed. (See Ref. [2] for review.)
