Anatomy of the lymphatic vessels and regional lymph nodes of the human pancreas
The aim of the study was to study morphometric and topographic-anatomical features lymphatic vessels and regional lymph nodes of the human pancreas. Material and methods. On autopsy material obtained from 15 corpses of persons aged 31 to 60 years, the features of the lymphatic vessels and regional lymph nodes of the pancreas were studied. The method of injection with Gerot mass, morphometric and general histological methods was used in the work. Results. It is established that the lymphatic pathways of the pancreas form around the lobules and follow the course of the excretory ducts and blood vessels. It is shown that the regional nodes of the pancreas are pancreatic, pyloric, pancreatoduodenal and splenic. The key role in formation of the transverse collector of lymph in the upper floor of the abdominal cavity plays the efferent vessels of the pancreas.
