Abstract
Mathematical models of oxygen transport to tissue provide us with a quantitative means of assessing how each mass transport parameter affects oxygen delivery. These models thus play an important role as we attempt to determine what local control mechanises are responsible for matching the microvascular oxygen supply to the tissue’s metabolic needs. This is especially true in skeletal (and cardiac) muscle where the oxygen consumption rate increases dramatically from rest to exercise.
