EXCHANGES of water between blood and tissues are generally believed, since Starling's work, to be regulated by the equilibrium of two forces, namely, hydrostatic capillary pressure which drives water ...

The steady state solutions of two mathematical models are used to evaluate Münch's pressure-flow hypothesis of phloem translocation. The models assume a continuous active loading and unloading of ...
