Simulation of intraluminal gas transport processes in the microcirculation.
Intraluminal resistance to gas transport between the microcirculation and tissue was neglected for a half-century following the early work of Krogh. In recent years it has come to be understood that this neglect is seriously in error. This paper reviews the background for the long period of misdirection, and progress in placing the simulation of gas transport processes on a more accurate, quantitative basis.
