MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE TRANSPORT OF OXYGEN IN THE LIVING TISSUE THROUGH CAPILLARY BED

Abstract

Oxygen is essential for the survival of living tissues in the human body. The mechanism of oxygen transport in the human body is a subject of great concern. In the conditions like hypoxia and hypothermia, the amount of oxygen supply in the biological tissue loose homeostasis, thereby the concentration of O 2 and the liberation of CO 2 in the human body demands a special attention. The present study based on finite element method employed to the mass diffusion equation with suitable conditions has been established. The main objective of this work is to understand the behavior of O 2 through various compartments of the capillary bed. The concentration of O 2 at plasma and capillary layers has been estimated which in turn leads to understand the situation of oxygen transport during various situations.
