Total wall tension T = PD/2 = Tp(L) + A Tma(L) Model for vascular smooth muscle - I We connect these two elements in parallel and then note that the vessel is not just in the maximally activated or passive state but has a continuum of responses in between This variation in state is represented by an activation function here which is a sigmoidal function of tension and shear in the vessel wall Note that the length-tension representation of the vessel state can be converted to pressure-diameter using the appropriate relationships This model is represented by the eight parameters C1 through C8We connect these two elements in parallel and then note that the vessel is not just in the maximally activated or passive state but has a continuum of responses in between This variation in state is represented by an activation function here which is a sigmoidal function of tension and shear in the vessel wall Note that the length-tension representation of the vessel state can be converted to pressure-diameter using the appropriate relationships This model is represented by the eight parameters C1 through C8

    10. Model for vascular smooth muscle - II There are two elements which have been modeled in this representation of the arteriolar vessel wall These two elements have been quantified in several experimental studies over the past 25 years. The first element is the passive response of the vessel to tension and can be approximated by an exponential relationship The second element is the maximally activated tension generated by the vascular smooth muscle which can be determined by subtracting the total maximally active tension from the passive response and is modeled here as a gaussian functionThere are two elements which have been modeled in this representation of the arteriolar vessel wall These two elements have been quantified in several experimental studies over the past 25 years.

    23. Myogenic, shear-dependent and metabolic responses Model for estimation of metabolic signal M in arterioles Oxygen saturation declines as oxygen is extracted from each vessel in proportion to oxygen consumption rate ATP is released in microvessels by red blood cells, at a rate that increases with decreasing oxygen saturation A conducted response is generated in proportion to the ATP level and propagated upstream with exponential decay

    28. Conclusions In the microcirculation, flow is modulated strongly in response to changing needs (metabolic regulation), but maintained almost constant over a wide range of blood pressure (autoregulation). The main mechanisms involved in flow regulation include myogenic, shear-dependent, conducted and metabolic responses. In combination, the myogenic and metabolic responses are able to achieve autoregulation of blood flow, despite the opposing effect of shear-dependent responses.
