When a giraffe holds its neck in a vertical position, its brain is about 2 meters above its heart. Contraction of the ventricle must create enough pressure to raise the blood to the level of the head and perfuse the brain (i.e
, circulate blood through the brain). The arterial pressure at the aorta of a giraffe is approximately 200 mm Hg, twice that of a human. The brain of a sauropod dinosaur, such as Barosaurus, would have been about 9 meters above the level of its heart if it held its neck vertically. Calculate the aortic pressure required to perfuse the brain using the following information: • The density of blood is 1.055 g/cm3 and the density of mercury 13.554 g/cm3 • An aortic pressure of 10 mm Hg is needed to overcome resistance to blood flow in the carotid arteries leading from the heart to the brain. • A blood pressure of 50 mm Hg at the head is required to perfuse the brain. What inferences about the biology of sauropods can you draw from your calculation?
