I am reading my study materials and think what is the systemic POV here

Regional circulation Blood flow within the tissue/organs based on the functional demands of the tissue. E.g. The blood flow to the brain should remain relatively constant from a systemic POV (13% of CO at rest).

What is the POV here?

Extension to the question and explanation. The last part is just 13% of maximal cardiac output.

  • $\begingroup$ This question appears to be off-topic because it is about an abbreviation commonly used outside of the field of biology. $\endgroup$
