This presentation describes various aspects of the regulation of tissue oxygenation,
including the roles of the circulatory system, respiratory system, and blood, the carrier of …

Objective Cells require energy to carry out their functions and they typically use oxidative
phosphorylation to generate the needed ATP. Thus, cells have a continuous need for …

Knowledge about the optical properties a, s, and g of human blood plays an important role
for many diagnostic and therapeutic applications in laser medicine and medical diagnostics …

The absorption coefficient μ a, scattering coefficient μ s, and anisotropy factor g of diluted
and undiluted human blood (hematocrit 0.84 and 42.1%) are determined under flow …

The use of fluorescent and luminescent probes to measure biological function has increased
dramatically since publication of the First Edition due to their improved speed, safety, and …
