taken from Fig. 7 of36), circles—experimental data in the resting situation (taken from Fig. 3 of5).
Comparison of normalized experimental data from the studies by Gaehtgens36 and Guyton5 with our model predictions under the constraint of constant driving pressure—dependence of oxygen supply on hematocrit. Solid line—model prediction using the Pries formula for diameter of 50 μm, dashed line—model prediction using the Pries formula for diameter of 150 μm, triangles—experimental data for working skeletal muscle (
