During the tadpole's development the value of some parameters may changes, that is why we always (when known) specify the development stage at which the parameter has been estimated.

Tadpole's shape

Parameter Value Unit Description Stage reference
L 0.8 cm tail length 47 [1]
l 0.07 cm max tail width 47 [1]
r 0.3 cm head radius 47 [1]
Tskin 35 μm skin thickness 47 [1]

Volumes

Parameter Value Unit Description Stage reference
Vtail 0.0010 cm3 tail volume 47 here
Vhead 0.1131 cm3 head volume 47 here
V 0.1141 cm3 tadpole volume 47 here
Vskin 0.0041 cm3 skin volume 47 here
Vreceptor xxxx cm3 receptor compartment volume 47 here

Permeabilities

Parameter Value Unit Description Stage reference

Surfaces
