Order distribution of the flow regulation parameters. Following Liao and Kuo (1997), the figures in parentheses for K_τ were adjusted to account for the presence of hemoglobin in vivo by increasing them ∼10 times to achieve physiological levels of flow perfusion. Parameters for vessel orders 1 and 10 are extrapolated assuming they have no flow response.

In vitro data (boldface) was taken from a study on single vessels of orders 5–7 (Liao and Kuo, 1997).
