Figure 7.

Distributions of (A) mid-segment pressure and (B) segment hematocrit in the three mesentery networks. Arteriolar segments are red, capillary segments are green, and venular segments are blue. Scatter points correspond to median model predictions for segment pressure (n=1321 segments), and median hematocrit based on both predictions and measurements (n=2642) (measurements marked with white dots). Model predictions correspond to the calibration setup with all measurements available for calibration and “non-informative” priors. Solid lines are local polynomial regression fits of the data [3]. These fits were used as mean values of the “informative” priors, and the dashed lines mark 95 percentiles of the prior distributions.
