Schematic depiction of retinal circulation and corresponding mathematical model. Top: retinal tissue and circulation. Blood vessels are embedded in the inner retinal region, while the outer retina is avascular. The rightmost plexum is the arteriolar/venular network, middle and leftmost plexi are constitued by capillary networks. In the retinal tissue, different types of neural cells are represented. Bottom: mathematical representation of the function ϕ, volumetric fraction of blood in the multiphase model. The maximal values are attained in correspondance of the vessel plexi.
