Abstract
Calculations of muscle tissue pO2 from models that take into account realistic geometrical capillary distributions have shown a resulting considerable range in pO2 values (broad histograms), due to the heterogeneity in capillary spacing. In these models, however, only few selected blood flow types were considered, most often, equal flow through each capillary. The question is addressed here, what the influence is of different flow patterns on calculated tissue pO2 and particularly whether the resulting pO2 histograms can be made more uniform, i.e., less variation in pO2 values.
