Abstract
Many cases appear to arise in physiology in which diffusion takes place from a restricted region into a large volume. Typical examples which will be considered later are:
-
(i)
Diffusion from the ends of the micro-pipettes used in many experiments.
-
(ii)
Diffusion from a tube with open ends immersed in liquid.
-
(iii)
Diffusion from a thin slot such as the synaptic cleft.
-
(iv)
Diffusion through a small hole in an impermeable membrane.
