The micro-injection method for determination of blood pressure in individual capillaries was used in studying pressure fall in the mesenteric vessels of decerebrate rats and anesthetized guinea pigs. This method permitted the measurement of mean pressure, without disturbance of flow in the observed vessel. Capillary blood pressures ranged from 22 to 49 cm. of water with 2/3 of the determinations lying between 25 to 35 cm. Average pressure in the arteriolar capillary was 30 cm. in the rat and 38.5 cm. in the guinea pig, while in the venous capillary the average blood pressure was 17 cm. in both. The fall of blood pressure did not cease abruptly at the junction of the arteriole and capillary, but continued to the venous capillary. The pressure gradients of the rat, guinea pig and frog showed a similar division of peripheral resistance between the arterioles and capillaries. A balance between average capillary blood pressure and the osmotic pressure of the plasma proteins has been observed in the rat, guinea pig and frog. The mammals, however, differ from the frog in the higher level of pressure at which this balance is maintained. Average arteriolar capillary blood pressure was above, and average venous capillary pressure was below, the osmotic pressure of the plasma proteins. The findings provide evidence in favor of the Starling hypothesis of fluid interchange in mammals.
