Abstract

We simulated the loop, and microcirculation structure at the end of the arterial system by measuring the wave propagation property in it. Our result shows the microcirculation-end structure acts like an open-end with weak reflection. The loop shortens the length of arterial tube, but with the reflection effect the same as a long tube. Analyses of pressure wave propagating in these structures may help us to understand not only the pressure wave propagating but also the purpose of these structures in physiology.
