title: [Architectonics of the superficial lymphatic net of the lungs of humans and several representatives of artiodactyl animals].
abstract: The superficial lymphatic vessels of the lungs were studied in man and some artiodactyl animals by the method of interstitial injection followed by dissection and clearing of the preparations. The superficial lymphatic network of the lungs was established to reside under the visceral pleura and to consist of one layer of capillaries. The lymphatic network consisting of large loops was found in sites with the increased respiratory function and with large pulmonary lobules i.e. on the costal and diaphragm surface of the lungs. In the sites of connection of lymph capillaries there are dilatations--lacunas.
