Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pig lymph nodes have an unusual arrangement of cortical and medullary tissue, and lack a hilus. The aim of the present study was to describe the pathways by which blood reaches these lymph nodes. Natural or synthetic latex casts were made of blood vessels of superficial inguinal, popliteal and jejunal lymph nodes. Major nodal arteries approach these lymph nodes and give rise to about five branches, most of which remain on the node surface. These branches often wrap around part or all of the node in a claw-like manner and they divide to form a network on its surface. Arteries from this network penetrate the capsule directly to supply the lymphoid parenchyma. Anastomoses are common at all levels between the arteries supplying the nodes and arteriovenous anastomoses occur within the nodes. These may help to maintain and regulate blood flow within the lymph node under different conditions of stimulation. |
