  • Mechanism of smart baroreception in the aortic arch 

    Kember, G. C.; Armour, J. A.; Zamir, M. (American Physical Society, 2006)
    A mechanism is proposed by which the patch of baroreceptors along the inner curvature of the arch of the aorta can sense hemodynamic events occurring downstream from the aortic arch, in the periphery of the arterial tree. ...
  • "Smart" baroreception along the aortic arch, with reference to essential hypertension 

    Kember, G. C.; Zamir, M.; Armour, J. A. (American Physical Society, 2004)
    An arterial model was used to show that the cumulative effects of wave reflections have a surprisingly pronounced effect on the pressure distribution in the root segment of the tree. Global arterial conditions play a role ...
