(a) Three-element Windkessel impedance model which terminates each of the ends of the arterial tree. Resistors and capacitor represent series resistance (Rs), parallel resistance (Rp), and parallel compliance (Cp). (b) Representation of a single vessel segment modeled as a circuit containing both longitudinal (ZL) and transverse impedance (ZT). Circles are drawn to represent the points of connection to the next segment in the transmission line.
