Fig 5

Branch point conductance is modeled as triangle-shaped coupling Gg1Gg2Gg3. A vessel segment consists of several units (dark gray) whose length is equal to the length of an endothelial cell with the conductance Gc and the capacitance Cc. Units are coupled via gap junctions with conductance Gg. Details are given in Materials and Methods.
