It has been suggested from whole organ studies that the viscosity of blood in skeletal muscle venules varies inversely with flow over physiological flow ranges. If this is the case, the hydrostatic pressure gradient in venules should change less than flow as flow is altered. To test this hypothesis, pressure in venules of cat sartorius muscle was measured during stepwise arterial pressure reduction to 20 mmHg. Large vein pressure remained constant at about 5 mmHg. Average pressures in the large venules (40–185 microns) ranged from 13.6 to 10.0 mmHg. The difference between pressure in these venules and large vein pressure fell in proportion to the reduction in blood pressure and blood flow. Pressures in the smallest venules studied (25 microns) averaged 19.7 +/- 6.2 (SD) mmHg. The pressure difference between the smallest venules and the large vein fell less than the arteriovenous pressure difference or blood flow when arterial pressure was reduced. During reactive hyperemia the pressure gradient between the smallest venules and the large vein rose proportionately less than blood flow. The stability of pressure in the smallest venules is consistent with the hypothesis that blood viscosity varies inversely with flow rate.
