Figure 3

Condensed elicited path for the ANP‐ANPr interaction case study. The path for the translocation of ANP from the right atrium to the left renal arterioles is represented in its condensed form. Segments belonging to the same vessel (e.g. segments of the aorta) are aggregated in a single box. The boxes labelled with main vessels (blue and pink) represent mere portions of these vessels (R. marg. v. = right marginal vein, ant. c. v. = anterior circulatory vein, R.Heart = right heart, L.Heart = left heart, L.a.r.a. = Left accessory renal artery). The microcirculatory elements are: VNL for venules of the right atrium, CAP for capillaires of the right atrium, and L.k.al for left kidney arterioles. ENS stands for inter‐endothelial space and the rest follows conventions already explained. The illustration also shows the types of physiological communication involved.
