The problem of diffusion transfer of oxygen from an individual
capillary into the surrounding skin with regard for the
inhomogeneity of the blood composition in the vessel (plasma
and erythrocytes) has been solved. The approximate dependence
of the average concentration of oxygen in the tissue cylinder
on its radius (density of active capillaries) and the circulation
rate has been obtained. The model has been generalized to the
macromolecule of a biotissue segment with a multitude of exchange
vessels, and the dependence of the average concentration of oxygen
in the biotissue bulk on the blood flow intensity (perfusion)
has been obtained.
