Abstract
A mathematical model that predicts the thermal response of [human] tissue during and after the application of localized pressure is described. The model predictions compare favorably with previously obtained experimental results. The principal cause of the transient termperature rise occurring after pressure application evidently is a reactive hyperemic effect while changes in metabolism are of little importance. The values of the tissue blood flows rates during reactive hyperemia are estimated.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
