  • Title: Influence of gravity on flow distribution of red blood cells in microcirculation.
    Author: Tateishi N, Suzuki Y, Shirai M, Maeda N.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 2000 Jul; 7(2):P155-6. PubMed ID: 12697526.
    Abstract:
    The influence of the gravity on flow distribution of erythrocytes in microcirculation was examined. We developed a new centrifuge system with a rotation disc. An observation system of blood flow in a micro-flow channel was arranged on the disc. Erythrocyte flow in the micro-flow tube was displaced under the gravity. This study suggests that the gravity affects the transfer of substances from blood vessels to tissues.
