title: Differential influences of CNS and superficial body temperatures on the partition of cutaneous blood flow between capillaries and arteriovenous anastomoses (AVA's).
abstract: Radioactive microsphere measurements of blood flow in the hindlimb of the conscious sheep indicate that CNS temperatures have a potent influence on blood flow through cutaneous AVA's but not capillaries, and vice versa for superficial body temperatures.
