Vasomotion does inhibit mass exchange between axisymmetric blood vessels and tissue.
Vasomotion, the name given to the physiological phenomenon whereby blood vessel walls exhibit rhythmic oscillations in diameter, is a complex process and very poorly understood. It has been proposed as a mechanism for protecting tissue when perfusion levels are reduced, since it has experimentally b...
