Simulink model of oxygen distribution in skeletal muscle
Cellular respiration is a pathway that uses energy from food molecules and oxygen for different processes of life such as movement. Oxygen, transported through mass transport from blood vessels to skeletal muscle can bind to myoglobin that stores a small amount of oxygen or can be used in cellular respiration by mitochondria. This paper presents a Simulink model of oxygen distribution in skeletal muscle, based on previously published mathematical models. Different parameters for supply concentration of oxygen at capillary wall and consumption rate of the muscle tissue simulate oxygen distribution when the body is under certain conditions: in rest state, dysoxia and exercise state.
