EXAMPLE OF A LARGE-MODEL SIMULATION OF THE BLOOD BIOCHEMICAL SYSTEM,

Abstract

The paper outlines a formal procedure for simulating certain aspects of the biochemistry of a viable system. The procedure is based on a mathematical model and a computer program. The plausibility of constructing detailed models of large biochemical systems is demonstrated. The object of the paper is to demonstrate that a mathematical program can simulate the functions of a selected viable system. For this purpose, a mathematical model of viable blood known as the 'SF Blood' model was chosen. The 'SF Blood' model is a reasonable representation of the respiratory function of the adult-restingmale blood.
