Schematic of simulation model. Blood flow to the 4 capillary networks is controlled by upstream arterioles. Nonselective dilation of arterioles will tend to cause uniform increases in flow to all 4 networks, while selective dilation can increase flow to the single undersupplied network only. Dashed line indicates initial undersupply of flow to network 1.
