| Abstract: | The influence of the gravity on flow distribution of erythrocytes in microcirculation was examined. We developed a new centrifuge system with a rotation disc. An observation system of blood flow in a micro-flow channel was arranged on the disc. Erythrocyte flow in the micro-flow tube was displaced under the gravity. This study suggests that the gravity affects the transfer of substances from blood vessels to tissues. |
