Quantifying the impact of tissue metabolism on solute transport in feto-placental microvascular networks
Alexander Erlich, Gareth A. Nye, Paul Brownbill +2
The primary exchange units in the human placenta are terminal villi, in which fetal capillary networks are surrounded by a thin layer of villous tissue, separating fetal from mater…

Image-Based Modeling of Blood Flow and Oxygen Transfer in Feto-Placental Capillaries
Philip Pearce, Paul Brownbill, Jiri Janacek +4
During pregnancy, oxygen diffuses from maternal to fetal blood through villous trees in the placenta. In this paper, we simulate blood flow and oxygen transfer in feto-placental ca…
