THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM OF THE SPLEEN IN THE CALVES
- B Golab
Abstract
The structure of the lymphatic network of the spleen was studied in calves. The lymphatic vessels were injected with latex and Gerota's mass. It was found that the superficial lymphatic network of the spleen consists of a single layer situated in the external layer of the fibrous capsule and projecting - when injected - into the space between the fibrous capsule and the serous coat. The network is dense and consists in lymphatic capillaries (of constant localization) and of small and large lymphatic vessels. The course of the small lymphatic vessels is marked by oval dilatations, and in the hilar region one or two lymph nodes arc found. Attempts to inject the lymphatics branching from the superficial network and entering the interior of the splenic pulp were unsuccessful.
