Abstract
The mucosa of the intestinal tract is well suited for Kinetic studies mainly due to its relatively simple geometric structure, its accessibility and the high proliferation rate. Our computer model controls simulation of spatial, structural and time aspects. Comparison with published data allows interesting answers to models and speculations in the field. We suggest a theory for the control of proliferation by the number of generations since leaving the stem cell.
