A Generalized Net Model of the Prostate Gland’s Functioning

Abstract

Over the last 20 years, many Generalized Net (GN) models of the ways of functioning of the different systems and organs in the human body and models related to the description of biomedical processes in living organisms have been constructed. In this paper, a GN model of the prostate gland’s functioning was developed, as a continuation of the previous research. The model provides the possibility to trace the logical relations of the interactions of the prostate gland and various individual organs in the human body. The model shows the possibility for the existence of currently unknown feedback loops.
