โฆ Synopsis
The partial pressure of 0, (PO,) at any point within the tissue surrounding a blood capillary is obtained through a modified version of the Erlang-Krogh model, in which the details of the intracapillary pressure profile and the axial diffusion of oxygen have been taken into consideration. The model is analytically solvable and contains only a single free parameter. A search for the major determinants of tissue 0, tension reveals that the parameters influencing the ~0, profile within the capillaries are the most sensitive factors. Experimentally obtained ~0, histograms of ,various normal and tumour tissues can be reproduced fairly accurately from the model.
