Figure 5: Influence of CMRO2 changes on capillary oxygen distribution.

From: Large arteriolar component of oxygen delivery implies a safe margin of oxygen supply to cerebral tissue

Figure 5

Capillary PO2 (a) and SO2 (b) distributions simulated in realistic vascular anatomical network at different levels of CMRO2 and constant CBF. Mean PO2 and SO2 were calculated from the groups of capillaries with different branching order from the precapillary arteriole. Data are expressed as mean±s.e.m. and were estimated over all vessels of n=1 VAN.
