Furthermore, pericytes are absent; anchoring filaments prevent the collapse of lymphatic capillaries [2]. The role of anchoring filaments as the sole structures reinforcing the lymphatics wall has found a wide acceptance, however, recent works increasingly favor the role of reticular fiber network of...
The heart lymphatic vessels consist of capillaries which flow into larger vessels located underneath the epicardium. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 11-24. Intercostal arteries. A) Arterial injection with latex (green), bones stained with alizarin red and clearing. Transverse section. ...
proliferation, differentiation and migration (Fig.1). These processes culminate in the sprouting and growth of new lymphatic vessels. During development, the embryonic lymphatic vessels separate from the original veins for expanding the primary lymphatic plexus and remodeling into lymphatic capillaries and ...

Lymphatic vessels are structures that absorb fluid that diffuses from blood vessel capillaries into surrounding tissues. This fluid is directed toward lymph nodes to be filtered and ultimately re-enters blood circulation through veins located near the heart. The smallest lymphatic vessels are called lym...
Fig. 1. Schematic illustration of the lymphatic system and development of lymphangiogenesis. Lymphatic capillaries are composed of discontinuous cell junctions and connected to the interstitium by means of anchoring filaments. Lymph fluids enter the lymphatic capillaries and are driven to collecting lymphati...
Frequently in this location they also border the lobular parenchyma, but no lymphatic vessels have been found within intralobular compartments between blood capillaries and alveoli. The presence and distribution of lymphatic vessels in pulmonary tissue are consistent with an important role for the ...
The lymphatic capillaries of dermal tissue in the guinea pig's ear have been examined with particular reference to their fine structure and the topographical relationship of the connective tissue-lymph interface. Lymphatic capillaries possess specific features which serve to differentiate them from blood ...
Initial lymphatic capillaries Small blind-ended lymphatic vessels in the tissue periphery that have a discontinuous basement membrane, lack smooth muscle and are characterized by button-like interendothelial junctions and short anchoring filaments that are tethered to elastin fibres in the surrounding tissue...
The ink perfusion filled arteries, capillaries and veins. Transcardial dye perfusion has the added advantage of only labeling perfused vascular vessels that will be supplying the brain with blood. The common transgenic labels for endothelial cells (e.g. Tie2) are also expressed by lymphatic vessels...
