Physiological Reviews, 2022
The lymphatic system, composed of initial and collecting lymphatic vessels as well as lymph nodes that are present in almost every tissue of the human body, acts as an essential transport system for fluids, biomolecules, and cells between peripheral tissues and the central circulation. Consequently, it is required for normal body physiology but is also

Mechanobiology of Lymphatic Vessels [PDF]
, 2021 While the cardiovascular system acts as the major circulatory system in the human body, the existence of a parallel, almost equally important, secondary circulatory system is frequently overlooked. This system is called the lymphatic system, which serves to perform three primary functions in the human body: (1) drainage of interstitial fluid, (2 ...

Permeability of lymphatic vessels
American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1962Substances of various molecular sizes were infused through leg or mesenteric lymphatics of anesthetized dogs and their concentrations were followed in thoracic duct lymph and plasma for the subsequent 2 1/2 hr. An isolated in vivo popliteal lymph node preparation was also perfused with some of the same substances. Small molecules were found to diffuse

Biomechanics of a Lymphatic Vessel
Journal of Vascular Research, 1975The principles of mechanics and the current notions of lymphatic physiology are integrated into a simple mathematical model of a lymphatic vessel which establishes a theoretical base for lymph propulsion in the lymphatic system. The model specifically considers the active and passive contractilities of the lymphatics.

Biological functions of lymphatic vessels
Science, 2020Roles of organ-specific lymphatic vessels Lymphatic vessels are spread throughout the human body and have critical functions in mammalian physiology. Petrova et al. review emerging roles of the lymphatic vasculature in organ function and pathology and provide perspectives beyond the traditional view of ...

Clinics in Dermatology, 2011
The traditional nomenclature of vascular lesions has been enlarged and modified with the usage of newer diagnostic techniques. Digital technology has enhanced the precision of older analog tools such as Doppler flow studies. Angiograms have also more precisely delineated flow patterns to allow planned surgical intervention as an important therapeutic ...

Optimal Lymphatic Vessel Structure [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Lymphatic vessels transport excess interstitial fluid from the low-pressure tissues to the higher pressure veins. The basic structural unit of lymphatic vessels is the lymphangion, a segment of the vessel separated by two unidirectional valves. Lymphangions cyclically contract like ventricles and can actively pump lymph.

Blood Vessels and Lymphatic Vessels
2019Development of the vascular and lymphatic trees is essential for the formation of nearly every organ during embryonic and fetal life. In the fetus, there are some unique features of the vascular tree that facilitate the fetoplacental circulation in utero, such as the umbilical vein, umbilical arteries, ductus venosus, and ductus arteriosus.
