Lymphatic Functional Adaptations to Prolonged Changes in Mechanical Stimuli
Fluid drainage via the lymphatics prevents swelling due to excess fluid in interstitial space. Since interstitial fluid volume can vary dramatically, the function of lymphangions are rather dynamic so that they can contend with the wide ranges of lymph flow and pressure. Sharing with blood vessels a...
