FIGURE 4.2: Elementary organ connections
Next we consider two organs in series; see Figure 4.2(b). Now the flow is
the same over each organ and we have C

= H

and C

= H

.So
it follows that H = H

and consequently
MTT(H)=MTT(H

) + MTT(H

).
Other examples can be built from this. For example, the intestines-liver sys-
tem shown in Figure 4.2(c) can be considered built up of two parallel organs,
one consisting of a part of the liver alone, the other of the rest ...
