Fig. 2. Profile of giraffe cranial pressures. Solid lines show known pressures
using published data (Mitchell and
Skinner, 1993; Hargens et al.,
1987). Broken lines show pressures generated by the model, and are
given in more detail in Table
2. Note that the model can replicate known giraffe jugular
pressures, can replicate separately mean arterial pressure and mean cranial
pressure, but cannot replicate all typical giraffe carotid and jugular
pressures simultaneously.
