Description
This is an axially distributed 2-region capillary-tissue exchange model with permeation across the capillary wall via clefts (PSg) and cell transporters (PSc). The capillary plasma region has volume Vp, flow Fp, first order consumption Gp, and axial diffusion Dp. Units are physiological (i.e. per gram of tissue) so that this can represent a homogeneously perfused organ. Radial diffusion is assumed instantaneous (short radial distances). This interstitial fluid region, isf, has volume Visf, first order consumption Gisf, and axial diffusion Disf. Capillary-tissue exchange is modeled by two parallel routes: 1. PSg: Passive exchange between plasma and surrounding non-flowing interstitial fluid is through interendothelial clefts. PSg is Permeability-Surface area product. 2. PSc: Facilitated transport occurs via a transporter on the capillary membrane with PScmax as maximal conductance at low concentrations. Transporter is modified from TranspMM.1sided.Distrib2F--facilitated transport can go either way.
