Primo-vascular system

The Bonghan duct is named after Kim Bong-han, a North Korean professor from Pyongyang Medical University, who reported in 1962 that he had found the anatomical structures of meridian-collaterals known as Bonghan corpuscles (BHCs) and Bonghan ducts (BHDs).

Superficial primo-vessels, also known as Bonghan ducts, were first reported in 1962 by the North Korean scientist Kim Bong-han.


Mean circulatory filling pressure

In medicine, the mean circulatory filling pressure (Pmcf) is defined as the mean pressure that exists in the vascular system if the cardiac output stops and the pressure within the vascular system redistributes.
