In our previous article (Am J Physiol Adv Physiol Educ 272: S26\u\N\uS30, 1997) we proposed a model that permits analysis for the change of hemodynamics in vessels with local stenosis. This problem is connected with the blood-tissue metabolism. This article continues the classroom research on concepts related to blood flow physiology. We take into consideration the problem of the blood-tissue fluid exchange. A model based on basic principles of hydrodynamics and mathematics is proposed for analysis of "filtration-reabsorption equilibrium\'\' and its disturbances under different external influences. It permits medical students to develop a scientific analytic approach to the solution of physiological and pathophysiological hemodynamics problems. ADV PHYSIOL EDUC 23: 32-39, 2000.
