Regional Anatomy Lymph node distribution in mice has been well described (Fig. 19.11, Table 19.3) and also in rats. There can be inter- and intrastrain differences in the numbers of nodes per rodent. Nodes are generally very small (1–4 mm) and difficult to visualize within fat or other...
Lymph nodes (LNs) are specialized secondary lymphoid tissues essential to the priming and maintenance of adaptive immune responses, including the B cell germinal center response; thus, they are central to immunity. However, the anatomically restricted and time-resolved nature of immune priming means ...

Radioactively labeled human serum albumin injected either into the ISF of the central gray matter of the rat brain or into the CSF drains to cervical lymph nodes. Although primitive arachnoid villi exist in the rat, at least 50% of ISF and CSF from the brain drains to cervical lymph nodes...

Transport of tissue-derived lymphatic fluid and clearance by draining lymph nodes are pivotal for maintenance of fluid homeostasis in the body and for immune-surveillance of the self- and non-self-proteomes. Yet a quantitative analysis of nodal filtratio
The MLN is often assumed to be the LN draining both the SI and colon, despite the fact that studies have shown different parts of the intestine drain to distinct nodes in the MLN chain. The anatomy of lymphatic drainage from the SI and colon was first examined over 40 years ago11,12 ...

Normal Anatomy The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymph nodes connected by lymphatic capillaries and ducts that play an important role in the immune system. It provides protection against organisms, particulate matter, and neoplastic cells by the processes of phagocytosis, cell-mediated and...
