  • Title: [Lymphatic vessels in the capsule of the lymph node].
    Author: Pupyshev LV.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1989 Jun; 96(6):70-2. PubMed ID: 2803019.
    Abstract:
    By means of the injection method the lymphatic vessels, running to the lymph nodes of various localization, have been studied. Their architectonics in the lymph node capsule is revealed. In the capsule the afferent vessels make peculiar broom-like formations. They are named terminal arborizations of afferent lymphatic vessels (TAALV). Two types of such arborizations are described: palm-like, peculiar for the somatic type of the lymph nodes, and tree-like, specific for visceral nodes. The TAALV diameter is 15-20 mcm. They come across the nodal capsule, penetrating it obliquely with numerous holes. In the TAALV wall myocytes are revealed. Together with the capsule muscular elements they might play a role of the most important factors in the mechanism of lymph circulation.
