Fig. 1. Giraffe jugular venous pressures (JVP) as measured by Hargens et al.
(Hargens et al., 1987)
(circles and solid line) and a linear regression line calculated from the data
(broken line). The relationship between height in meters and JVP in mmHg is
JVP=0.093xheight0.022 (r=0.987). The linear regression
predicts that right atrial pressure will be 0 mmHg, which is the measured
value.
