TranspMM.1sided.Distrib2F

Model number: 0016

A two region one-sided Michaelis-Menten transporter model, axially distributed, with Partial Differential Equations.

Detailed Description

This is a one-dimensional convection-permeation-diffusion-reaction model consisting of two concentric cylinders separated by a membrane. The capillary plasma region, volume V_p, has a flow F_p, first order consumption G_p, and axial diffusion (disperion) D_p. Units are physiological per gram of tissue so that a single unit can model a homogenously perfused organ. Radial diffusion is assumed instantaneous (short radial distances).

This interstitial fluid region, ISF, with volume V_ISF, is axially distributed. The gradients axially are dissipated by a concentration-independent axial diffusion or dispersion. Radial diffusion within this space is considered instantaneous, and consumption, G_ISF, is first order.

Capillary-tissue exchange happens by way of two parallel routes:

1. PS_g: Passive exchange between plasma and surrounding non-flowing interstitial fluid is through interendothelial clefts. PS_g is the Permeability-Surface area product.

2. PS_c: Facilitated transport occurs via a transporter on the capillary membrane with PS_cmax as maximal conductance at low concentrations.

This model is used in multicapillary models as one of a set of units in parallel.

Relevant Equations

${ PS_{\text{\small{c}}}(t,x) = \frac {PS_{\text{\small{cmax}}}}{(1 + \frac {C_{\text{\small{p}}}}{K_{\text{\small{mc}}}})}$

${\frac {d}{dt}C_{\text{\small{p}}}(t,x) = \frac {-F_{\text{\small{p}}} L}{h V_{\text{\small{p}}}} \frac {d}{dx}C_{\text{\small{p}}} - \frac {(PS_{\text{\small{g}}} + PS_{\text{\small{c}}})(C_{\text{\small{p}}} - C_{\text{\small{ISF}}})}{h V_{\text{\small{p}}}} - \frac {G_{\text{\small{p}}} C_{\text{\small{p}}}}{h V_{\text{\small{p}}}} + D_{\text{\small{p}}} \frac {d^2 C_{\text{\small{p}}}}{dx^2}$

${\frac {d}{dt}C_{\text{\small{ISF}}}(t,x) = \frac {(PS_{\text{\small{g}}} + PS_{\text{\small{c}}})(C_{\text{\small{p}}} - C_{\text{\small{ISF}}})}{hV_{\text{\small{ISF}}}} - \frac {G_{\text{\small{ISF}}} C_{\text{\small{ISF}}}}{hV_{\text{\small{ISF}}}} + D_{\text{\small{ISF}}} \frac {d^2 C_{\text{\small{ISF}}}}{dx^2}$
