- Title
Mechanical Properties of Lymph Node Capsule.

- Abstract
We studied the relationship between the length and tension in isolated strips of the capsules of bovine mesenteric lymph nodes. The deformation−strain and radius−pressure relationships were established in the lymph node. The capsule possesses high distensibility, modulus of elasticity at optimal tension was 0.09×10 N/m. Smooth muscle activation produces a 6-fold increase of modulus of elasticity. Maximum active stress in the capsule was recorded at a length of 1.1 L and maximal active pressure (4.5 cm HO) at 0.9 L.
