Modeling Gases Transfer between Placenta and Fetus across the Umbilical Cord
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mathematics
Abstract
This study presents a proposed mathematical model gases exchange across umbilical cord to provide a system of equations whose solution can be analyzed for equilibrium and stability. In this paper we use qualitative theory of differential equations to develop a four compartmental Mathematical model that takes into Umbilical cord by consideration exchange of gases, nutrients and wastes through the umbilical cord. AMS Subject classification: 34A30
Keywords
