Abstract
In attempting the difficult process of constructing a mathematical model to represent transport of oxygen within the microcirculation, numerous simplifying assumptions are made to reduce the geometrical and physicochemical relationships to a mathematically tractable form. Any simplification which reduces the model’s mathematical complexity carries with it the implicit requirement that this simplification is, in some sense, justified. There is, of course, a continuing need to reexamine the assumptions and the modeling process with each improvement in experimental data and/or change in the geometrical concepts of the microcirculation.
