Tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that the tissues receive during circulation. When a person has decreased tissue perfusion, the tissues are receiving inadequate blood supply.
The perfusion phase is the part of a contrast scan in which the contrast is moving into the blood vessels.

Perfusion
Blood flow and tissue perfusion are NOT the same thing. An increase in blood flow does not always mean that there is a parallel increase in tissue perfusion. While blood flow is generally understood as an increase in the total amount of blood flowing into an anatomic structure or region, tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that actually flow through the capillaries of the vascular bed of that structure or region. The important thing to remember is that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells via the capillaries.
absorpition of oxygen from the blood into the lung
In reference to physiology perfusion is the process of blood being delivered to a capillary bed in the biological tissue. Normal levels of perfusion can be tested by looking at skin color or skin temperature.
Ventilation perfusion coupling is the amount of gas reaching alveoli & blood flow in pulmonary capillaries; local autoregulation.
Perfusion
Think of it as like a shower head. The more you turn up the dial (blood pressure), the stronger the water shoots out of the head (coronary perfusion rate).
Heterogeneous means not consistent all the way through, and perfusion is talking about blood supply (actually its talking about oxygen supply, but in reality we see blood supply, but they are roughly the same since the blood carries the oxygen). So a spleen with heterogeneous perfusion means that some parts are getting more blood (oxygen) than other parts.
Blood is shunned away from the skin.
