Excerpt from The Origin and Development of the Lymphatic System, Vol. 5
Until the past few years our knowledge of the morphology of the lymphatic system was in a very unsatisfactory state. Our con ceptions of such main questions as the origin of the first lymphatics, the time of their appearance, the relations Of the lymph hearts and sacs of the amphibia to the lymph glands and ducts of higher forms, the relation of the lymphatics to serous cavities and to the various forms of tissue spaces, and the development of the lym phatic vessels within an organ have been so vaguely understood that the opinions of no two investigators approached agreement.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of the lymphatic system, a crucial yet often overlooked component of human anatomy. The author embarks on a historical journey, tracing the evolution of our understanding of this complex network from the early concepts of "vasa serosa" to the groundbreaking discovery of endothelium. The narrative then shifts to embryology, exploring the origins and development of the lymphatic system. The author meticulously examines the three main arguments supporting the theory of the lymphatic system's venous origin: growth by sprouting, lymphatic and non-lymphatic zones, and direct budding from veins. With a focus on the pig as a primary example, the book dissects the primary lymphatic system, detailing the various lymph sacs and their roles in draining different parts of the body. The exploration extends to other mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, offering a comprehensive comparative analysis. Through meticulous research and insightful observations, this book sheds light on the remarkable intricacies of the lymphatic system, revealing its profound connection to the vascular system and its vital role in maintaining the body's delicate balance.
