Assignment:
Consider the Krogh cylinder model for oxygen transport in skeletal muscles described in
(a) At what radial position in the tissue surrounding the capillary entrance is the oxygen partial pressure down to 60.0 torr?
(b) At a position along the capillary where the oxygen partial pressure in the blood is 25 torr, the lowest oxygen partial pressure in the surrounding tissue is 10 torr. Estimate the corresponding value of the oxygen demand, MO.
(c) For the conditions described in part (b), estimate the oxygen flux leaving the capillary wall.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
