Impact of elastic modulus on volume conveyed, EF, and the P–V loops. The variations of the volume conveyed, in percentage, relative to the baseline model, versus the elastic modulus of the vessel wall (A), the variations of the lymphangions’ EF in percentage, from the baseline condition versus the elastic modulus of the vessel wall (B), and the P–V loops of lymphangion 1 (C) are shown for various elastic modulus values of the collecting vessel wall. Results for the volume conveyed, EF, and P–V loops of lymphangion 1 were also shown for various values of the elastic modulus of the interstitium in D–F, respectively
