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.

The lymphatic system extends its network of vessels throughout most of the body. Lymphatic vessels carry a fluid rich in proteins, immune cells, and long-chain fatty acids known as lymph. It results from an excess of interstitial tissue fluid collected from the periphery and transported centrally against hydrostatic pressure and protein concentration ...

Lymphatic vessels of the mammalian heart
The Anatomical Record, 1978AbstractAn in situ heart lung preparation was developed to label lymphatics of the actively beating dog heart with subsequent fixation by vascular perfusion. Immediately after interstitial injections of trypan blue and colloidal carbon, a rich plexus of lymphatic vessels was visualized in the epicardium of the actively beating heart.

JAMA, 1963
This is a most exciting and informative large work on the basic considerations bearing on blood vessels in general and in specific areas, as well as on lymphatics. Under the capable editorship of Dr. Abramson, 52 scientists have collaborated on details of the embryology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and pathology of the blood ...

Imaging blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the zebrafish
2016Blood vessels supply tissues and organs with oxygen, nutrients, cellular, and humoral factors, while lymphatic vessels regulate tissue fluid homeostasis, immune trafficking, and dietary fat absorption. Understanding the mechanisms of vascular morphogenesis has become a subject of intense clinical interest because of the close association of both types ...

Lymphatic Vessel Activation in Cancer
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008Most cancerous lesions metastasize through the lymphatic system and the status of regional lymph nodes is the most important indicator of a patient's prognosis. The extent of lymph node involvement with cancer is also an important parameter used for determining treatment options.

Microsurgical Lymphatic Vessel Transplantation
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2015Lymphedema often arises after a regional interruption during cancer treatment, for example after lymph node resection the axilla or the groin. Lymphatic vessels as vascular grafts may overcome these lymphatic gaps.Experiments in rats and dogs were performed for developing this method.
