Oxygen content of Blood at 37C (time-dependent/transient oxygen flow), Hill model.

Description

 This model shows the summation of Hb-bound and dissolved
 oxygen in blood as a transient process. Where the original model used the Hill equation
 to generate saturation curves as a function of the partial pressure of O2, this model 
 shows the effect on saturation as the oxygen levels in the blood increase and decrease. 
 Hematocrit can be varied. The water content of plasma and RBC are 
 average values and will differ from states of over- or under-hydration, or hypo- or
 hyper-proteinemia. Other models may be subsituted for the Hill model for HbO
 saturations. The conditions assumed here are pH 7.4, pCO2 40 mmHg, Temperature 37C, and 
 2,3-DPG at 4.35 mM. 

Equations

The equations for this model may be viewed by running the JSim model applet and clicking on the Source tab at the bottom left of JSim's Run Time graphical user interface. The equations are written in JSim's Mathematical Modeling Language (MML). See the Introduction to MML and the MML Reference Manual. Additional documentation for MML can be found by using the search option at the Physiome home page.
