a
Corresponds to 2.4 × 10−2 mL blood/(mL tissue·min). Note that both the exponent and the units are misprinted in (48)
b
Corresponds to 8 mL/(100 mL·min) or a whole body skin blood flow of 250 mL/min
c
Corresponds to a forearm blood flow (skin + muscle) of 4–5 mL/ (min × 100 mL)
d
Corresponds to whole body skin blood flow of 6–8 L/min (~ 60% of cardiac output)
