Description:
Fluid movement from the capillaries into the interstitium is described by the Starling Landis equation, and fluid movement from the interstitium through the lymphatics is described by the Drake-Laine equation. The premise of the current research is to add complexity to the existing lymphatic flow model. Thus, the purpose of the present work is to develop algebraic formulas for interstitial pressure and edemagenic gains assuming a lymphatic system differential sensitivity to interstitial pressure and outlet pressure.
