Arterial pulmonary tone
| Notation in mathematical model | A19 |
| Allometric exponent | -3/4 |
The parameter is included in mathematical description of the dependence of arterial pulmonary pressure from blood flow in the specified part of vascular system (27), (28)

The parameter characterizes the dependence of rigidity of vascular walls from nervous and hormonal influences and is used for modelling of pathologic modes, whose characteristic is deviation of rigidity properties of pulmonary artery. The well-known fact of less dependence of pulmonary vessels from nervous and hormonal (particularly, adrenal) influences is evaluated by smaller absolute value of this parameter in comparison with the parameter for systemic circulation (A9).
