In vivo measurement of velocity profiles in arterioles.
Measurements of velocity profiles in arterial microvessels (20-103 mu in diameter) of rat mesentery and m. creamaster showed that bloodflow regimen under natural conditions can be similar to that of Newton fluid or pseudoplastic laminar stream, which indicates significant fluctuations in blood viscosity.
