Abstract:
A model of blood flow in a capillary was constructed, which takes into account the movement of plasma through its porous wall. The functions of changes in pressure and the rate of blood flow along the capillary were calculated. It was shown that, in the general case, the distribution of hemodynamic parameters as a result of filtration-reabsorption processes is nonlinear. Possible mechanism of tissue edema resulting from the disturbance of the filtration-reabsorption equilibrium were analyzed.
