title: Effect of intracapillary resistance to oxygen transport on the diffusional shunting between capillaries.
abstract: The effect of intracapillary resistance to oxygen transport on distribution of oxygen tension in the tissue and along the capillary was investigated by means of a mathematical model. In some cases resistance significantly affects the diffusive interaction between neighbouring capillaries thus aggravating the deficiency of oxygen supply around capillaries with low oxygen tension.
