Description
These partial differential equations model a "tissue cylinder" consisting of four regions. The four regions are capillary plasma, p; endothelial cell, ec; interstitial fluid, isf; and parenchymal cell, pc; and are separated by three barriers--the luminal or plasma surface and endothelial cell layer; the albuminal surface of the endothelial cell facing the interstitium; andthe membrane between the interstitial fluid and parenchymal cell. In addition, there is a diffusional path from plasma to ISF bypassing endothelial cells via intercellular clefts. This model has been augmented with a visual interface.
