A model for upstream signalling in the control of capillary blood flow

Blood supply to tissues is controlled through vasoconstriction and vasodilation activated by components of the vascular wall and smooth muscle cells. Local oxygen saturation and wall shear stress play an important role in this process and wall shear stress has a role in capillary and venular flow as...
