THE RELATION OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM TO HEMOLYMPH NODES IN THE SHEEP
Abstract
Sublumbar lymphatic drainage was examined in
fetal and adult sheep for potential connections with
hemolymph (hemal) nodes. Despite numerous channels
entering sublumbar lymph nodes there were no
lymphatic communications with hemal nodes. In
ovine ruminants hemolymph nodes are separate from
the lymphatic system.
