Oxygen Transport in a Three-Dimensional Microvascular Network Incorporated with Early Tumour Growth and Preexisting Vessel Cooption: Numerical Simulation Study

Figure 1

(a) 3D preexisting microvascular network with typical pattern of a normal arteriolar network, including parallel distributed vessels with varying vessel diameter and capillaries for cross link. (b) The enlarged view of local microvascular network. Different colours represent different orders of arterioles and capillaries (arterioles order 1: black; arterioles order 2: blue; arterioles order 3: green; capillaries: red).
