Abstract

The proposed mathematical model of the capillary blood flow and transcapillary fluid exchange, describing the slow steady laminar axisymmetric flow of blood, treated as a viscous homogeneous Newtonian incompressible fluid, in a rigid cylindrical tube of circular cross section with permeable walls, makes possible a quantitative study of the dependence of the principal hemodynamic characteristics on the hemodynamic parameters and of the biophysical principles underlying the activity of the circulatory system, by means of which at the microcirculation level it is able to perform its principal function of maintaining homeostatis of the organs and tissues.
