Microcirculation is a key aspect of tissue health, responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells while also removing waste products. It occurs within the body's smallest blood vessels, such as arterioles, capillaries, and venules. An efficient...
The lymphatic system is a vital part of both the immune system and the circulatory system. It's a network of lymphatic vessels and nodes that carry a fluid called lymph towards the heart. The lymph contains a mixture of white blood cells, proteins, and waste...
Permeability and Porosity: Mechanical vibrations can affect the permeability and porosity of the extracellular matrix within the fascial layers. The mechanical stimulation can temporarily increase the permeability of the extracellular matrix, allowing for enhanced...
Mechanical perturbation refers to a disturbance in a mechanical system, and in the context of body tissues, it means a change in the equilibrium state of tissue due to the influence of external mechanical forces. Let's delve into how mechanical vibrations,...
Fluid Dynamics: The mechanical vibrations introduced to the tissues can affect the movement of interstitial fluid within the fascial layers. This fluid contains waste products, cellular debris, and inflammatory molecules. The vibrations can help facilitate the flow of...
