INVESTIGATIONS ON THE UTERINE LYMPHATICS OF JUVENILE MICE, UP TO THE ONSET OF SEXUAL MATURITY

Abstract

By means of orthograde and retrograde application

of dyestuffs (using patent blue violet and Japan ink)

one can succesfully demonstrate the uterine lymphatics

in juvenile mice, up to the onset of sexual maturity.

However, the three subgroups used here do

not show the typical features of the cyclical events

of nulliparous and parous mice. However, the morphological

changes already present, allow one even now

to recognize, that with the increasing sequence of

individual sexual cycles, cyclical changes in the uterine

lymphatics of the mouse were identified.
