Abstract
The conformation of the walls of initial lymphatics was studied in edema and during the filling- and emptying-phases of the initial lymphatic cycle in the mouse diaphragm and in the puppy jejunum. The anchoring filaments, attached to the endothelium, caused typical distortions of the vessels during edema, but these did not occur in normal tissue. This implies that these filaments do not pull them open during the filling-phase of the cycle, but some other force causes them to fill.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
