Summary:E. K. Kozlova, V. I. Badicov, A. M. Chemysh and M. S. Bogushevich Department of Normal Physiology, Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, Moscow, Russia. A model based on elementary principles of hydrodynamics and mathematics is proposed for classroom research on concepts related to blood flow physiology. This is an analog model of the vascular system in which blood flow is represented by electrical current flowing in a resistance circuit. The model permits analysis of the change in hemodynamics with local stenosis of both large and peripheral vessels.
