Mathematical model of fluid flow in an osteon influence of cardiac system
Abstract
Numerical simulations of the behavior of the osteonal structure are more and more acute and an important parameter is the pressure of the bony fluid. Haversian and Volkmann canals contain blood vessels that transport oxygen and nutrients necessary for the cellular activity. The pressure in these vessels must be taken into account. While it is possible to estimate the value of this pressure, there is no information on the effect of the vessel wall that may have in the transmission of pressure.
