... tension (to generate higher blood pressures), the diffusion distance to its centre is greater. Thus, the maximum diameter of an individual ventricular trabecula represents a fine design balance between the considerations for tension development and oxygen diffusion( Davie and Farrell, 1991...

... of body temperatures. These factors affect the movement of both dissolved oxygen and oxymyoglobin, the two predominant routes of intracellular oxygen diffusion in vertebrate oxidative muscles. In addition, reductions in temperature have been shown to increase the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen...

... and that for Krogh’s diffusion constant 10·00 × 10 −6 cm 3 oxygen per min per cm 2 area and cm thickness at a pressure difference of 1 atmosphere, at 25 °C. Comparison with the rather few values in the literature for oxygen diffusion through biological materials indicates that mesogloea is similar to connective tissue...
