Quantification of the effects of vasomotion on mass transport to tissue from axisymmetric blood vessels

The process known as vasomotion, rhythmic oscillations in vessel diameter, has been proposed to act as a protective mechanism for tissue under conditions of reduced perfusion, since it is frequently only observed experimentally when perfusion levels are reduced. This could be due to a resultant incr...
