Fig. 5.

A schematic demonstrates the initial location of the individual particles that were tracked inside the lymphatic vessels of the (a) normal and (b) affected mice. WSS is plotted, only when particles are traversing adjacent to a vessel surface, for the particles upstream of the bileaflet (- - -) and unileaflet (- - -) valves, along the lymphangion surface (- — -), and inside the recirculation zone (—) for the (c) normal and (d) affected mice. The particle coordinates are plotted for each time-step as the particles move in the antegrade (○) and retrograde (●) lymph flow directions for the particles upstream of the bileaflet (○,●) and unileaflet (○,●) valves, along the lymphangion surface (○,●), and inside the recirculation zone (○,●) for the (e) normal and (f) affected mice. Given the short displacement of the particles in the recirculation zone (○,●), the coordinates are replotted in with different axes limits for the (g) normal and (h) affected mice.
