Convection plays significant roles in species transport in the integument. Convection moves nutrients and waste products into and from the skin vasculature, affecting tissue viability and response to injury . In the context of the integumentary system, blood and lymphatic flow are primary examples. Impairments in these mechanisms, such as in lymphedema, can lead to fluid accumulation, swelling, and subsequent tissue breakdown . Mass transport gradients can influence the migration of immune cells cytokines and other bioactive molecules to sites of injury or infection, thus impacting the inflammatory response. Disruptions in bulk flow can lead to conditions like edema, which is frequently observed in inflammatory skin disorders .
