title: Modeling of blood flow as the result of filtration-reabsorption processes in capillaries.
abstract: In our previous article (Am J Physiol Adv Physiol Educ 272: S26-S30, 1997) we proposed a model that permits analysis for the change of hemodynamics in vessels with local stenosis. This problem is connected with the blood-tissue metabolism. This article continues the classroom research on concepts related to blood flow physiology. We take into consideration the problem of the blood-tissue fluid exchange. A model based on basic principles of hydrodynamics and mathematics is proposed for analysis of "filtration-reabsorption equilibrium" and its disturbances under different external influences. It permits medical students to develop a scientific analytic approach to the solution of physiological and pathophysiological hemodynamics problems.
