Biomechanics of a lymphatic vessel.

Blood Vessels
N P ReddyP H Newell

Abstract

The principles of mechanics and the current notions of lymphatic physiology are integrated into a simple mathematical model of a lymphatic vessel which establishes a theoretical base for lymph propulsion in the lymphatic system. The model specifically considers the active and passive contractilities of the lymphatics. The model is simulated on a digital computer. The pressure and flow patterns derived from the model are consistent with the currently available experimental data.
