Figure 3. The geometry of the vascular-tissue model, the Krogh cylinder.

Figure 3

A hollow inner cylinder with radius Rcap represents a capillary that carries the blood plasma and probe molecules while a semi-permeable endothelial barrier restricts passage between the plasma and the surrounding tissue. Each section of capillary vessel is responsible for supplying blood and the small molecule biotinylation probe, or antibody, to the surrounding cylindrical section of tissue with radius RKrogh.
