Three-dimensional organization of lymphatics in the dog small intestine: a scanning electron microscopic study on corrosion casts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Casts of the lymphatics of the canine small intestine were made by direct injection of a low viscosity methacrylate resin into a large lymphatic in the submucosal layer, and observed under a scanning electron microscope. The lymphatics started with rod-like central lacteals in the villi of the jejunum and leaf-like ones in those of the ileum. The bases of the lacteals were connected by slender lymphatics forming a three-dimensional network, tentatively called the "superficial lamina propria lymphatic plexus". From this plexus, a few straight branches descended through the lamina propria to drain into a well developed "deep lamina propria lymphatic plexus", which was extended two-dimensionally closely above the lamina muscularis mucosae. From this plexus, a few short lymphatics extended and penetrated the muscularis mucosae and drained into the "superficial submucosal lymphatic plexus", a coarse mesh work of thick lymphatics. From this plexus, a few slender lymphatics descended to drain into a second lymphatic plexus, called the "deep submucosal lymphatic plexus", which extended two-dimensionally on the circular muscle layer. This deep submucosal plexus was a coarse network of thick knotty lymphatics. A large collecting lymphatic was occasionally seen running through the mesh. The tunica muscularis contained tubular lymphatics extending horizontally parallel to the muscle fiber, both circular and longitudinal.

Three-dimensional organization of lymphatics in the dog stomach: a scanning electron microscopic study of corrosion casts.
The three-dimensional organization of the lymphatics in the dog stomach was studied by scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts, which were made by direct parenchymal injection of low-viscosity Mercox-resin into the mucosa and the muscular layers. Although the organization of lymphatics in the stomach has been studied by a variety of methods, the origin of the lymphatics and their connec...
متن کاملPulmonary Lymphatics and Edema Accumulation
In a past study of hyperoxia-induced lung injury, extensive lymphatic filling occurred that could have resulted from lymphatic proliferation or simple lymphatic recruitment. This study sought to determine if brief lung injury could produce similar changes, to show which lymphatic compartments fill with edema, and to compare their three-dimensional structure. Tracheostomized rats were ventilated...

Uterine lymphatics were examined in 38 pigs using light microscopy, stereomicroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Uterine lymphatics were initially filled with plastic materials: Microfil for stereomicroscopy, Mercox-corrosion cast for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Micropaque for x-ray photographs. Lymph precollectors of the uterine horns formed two superficial layers, ventral a...
