– Higher pressure impede the venous returnHigher pressure impede the venous return

Mean systemic filling pressureMean systemic filling pressure
– Higher pressure increase the venous returnHigher pressure increase the venous return
Resistance to blood flowResistance to blood flow
– Higher resistance reduce the venous returnHigher resistance reduce the venous return

6. At +7 mm Hg Venous return is ZEROAt +7 mm Hg Venous return is ZERO
So COP is also ZEROSo COP is also ZERO
