Description

This is a two compartmental (plasma and parenchymal cell (pc) exchange model with flow in the plasma compartment. The compartments are instantaneously well mixed. Substances C and B reversibly convert to each other in the parenchymal cell compartment. This model has a Michaelis-Menten (MM) type of transporter of the cell membrane between the capillary plasma and the parenchymal cell, expressed in terms of PSmax and Km.
