A Biomechanical Approach for the Study of Deformation of Red Cells in Narrow Capillaries
This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...
متن کاملReversibility of red blood cell deformation.
The ability of cells to undergo reversible shape changes is often crucial to their survival. For red blood cells (RBCs), irreversible alteration of the cell shape and flexibility often causes anemia. Here we show theoretically that RBCs may react irreversibly to mechanical perturbations because of tensile stress in their cytoskeleton. The transient polymerization of protein fibers inside the ce...
متن کاملRed blood cell motions in high-hematocrit blood flowing through a stenosed microchannel.
We investigated the behavior of red blood cells (RBCs) in a microchannel with stenosis using a confocal micro-PTV system. Individual trajectories of RBCs in a concentrated suspension of up to 20% hematocrit (Hct) were measured successfully. Results indicated that the trajectories of healthy RBCs became asymmetric before and after the stenosis, while the trajectories of tracer particles in pure ...
متن کاملA numerical study of droplet deformation in a flat funnelform microchannel
Motivated by recent reported experiments, droplet deformation in a flat funnelform diverging microfluidic channel has been numerically studied. The structure of our microchannel is composed of two consecutive elements including a straight channel and a diverging channel. In this work, instead of solving the 3D Stokes equation, we solve a depth-averaged problem which is labeled two-dimensional p...
متن کاملAsymmetry of red blood cell motions in a microchannel with a diverging and converging bifurcation.
In microcirculation, red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through bifurcations may deform considerably due to combination of different phenomena that happen at the micro-scale level, such as: attraction effect, high shear, and extensional stress, all of which may influence the rheological properties and flow behavior of blood. Thus, it is important to investigate in detail the behavior of blood flow ...
