title: [A theoretical analysis of systemic arterial blood pressure of mammals (author's transl)].
abstract: The theoretical reduced exponent b calculated for the arterial pressure, in accordance with Huxley's alometric equation, is 0; however the experimental value has shown different figures. In this paper it is proposed that systemic arterial pressure with exponent zero is in accordance with that of those arteries found at a greater distance of the heart but above cardiac level. We postulate that the cerebral arteries have an experimental exponent b = 0. We have calculated this exponent for the cephalic arterial pressure (arterial pressure at cardiac level minus hydrostatic pressure for cephalic level). With this correction, we have found a better correlation between experimental and theoretical figures in accordance with the theory of biological similarities.
