Table 2. Time constants (τ) for scenarios I, II and III comprising cases A to J, for m = 2, 3 & 4.

Each scenario is based either on an oxidative metabolic change or a blood velocity transition in each case spanning over 3 s plus 1.5 s of asymptotic behavior.

$m\left(\frac{\Delta \text{CBv}/\text{CBv}}{\Delta {\text{CMR}}_{{\text{O}}_2}/{\text{CMR}}_{{\text{O}}_2}}\right)$	Scenario	Case	CMRO2 (μmol/100g/min)	CBv (mm/s)	Time constanti τ (s)
2, 3, 4	I, II, III	A	200 to 250	0.6	1.395
2	I	B	250	0.6 to 0.9	0.623
		C	250 to 200	0.9	1.206
		D	200	0.9 to 0.6	1.187
3	II	E	250	0.6 to 1.05	0.171
		F	250 to 200	1.05	0.391
		G	200	1.05 to 0.6	0.421
4	III	H	250	0.6 to 1.2	0.147
		I	250 to 200	1.2	0.381
		J	200	1.2 to 0.6	0.449

ⁱThe time constant τ is the time duration for sO₂ to reach 1 − e⁻¹ of its final value for the time course of CBv or CMR_O2 transitions.
