Segre-Silberberg effect, and Poiseuille flow. A) Red cell velocity under laminar flow conditions creates a parabolic flow profile. B) Flow profile favors larger plasma solutes concentrating around the centerline, and smaller plasma solutes tend to move towards the microvessel wall. Note that effect begins in microvessels ~<300 micrometers. Components are not drawn to scale, but for illustrative purposes.
