Abstract
Adequate understanding of oxygen supply to the microenvironments of the neonatal system is dependent on the ability to make reliable measurements and the ability to accurately interpret the measurements. Experimental measurements in the placenta and fetal system range from overall measurements designed to produce clinical guidelines to detailed microscopic measurements designed to obtain a more basic understanding of fundamental processes. Both the planning and interpretation of measurements vary in scope from intuition based on observation to the beginnings of the mathematics of systems analysis.
