Abstract
Intraluminal resistance to gas transport between the microcirculation and tissue was neglected for a half-century following the early work o f Krogh. In recent years it has come to be understood that this neglec t is seriously in error. This paper reviews the background for the lon g period of misdirection, and progress in placing the simulation of ga s transport processes on a more accurate, quantitative basis.
