Capillary recruitment in a theoretical model for blood flow regulation in heterogeneous microvessel networks

In striated muscle, the number of capillaries containing moving red blood cells increases with increasing metabolic demand. This phenomenon, termed capillary recruitment, has long been recognized, but its mechanism has been unclear. Here, a theoretical model for metabolic blood flow regulation in a...
