✦ Synopsis

Based on the principle of minimum power, a mathematical model of the ffmctional state of the oxygen transport system is presented, The optimization model minimizes the power expenditure of the heart, bone marrow, lung and other tissues. The model is used to determine the functional parameters of the oxygen transport system in man under both normal and varying barometric pressures. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data.
