[Problems of ecological lymphology].
Ecological influences, exercised on one the most important homeostatic systems - the lymphatic system - have been investigated extremely insufficiently. Nevertheless, in mechanisms of adaptogenesis interaction of the environmental effects with the lymphoid organs plays a rather essential role. Structural-functional response of the lymph nodes to the environmental effects possesses some features of stereotype, however, the stereotypic response is subjected to modulations in connection with the factor acting and functional specialization of the lymph node. Keeping this in mind, the lymph nodes (their morpho-functional status) can be considered as markers of the environmental pressing to the lymphatic system. When estimating the degree and stage of the phasic morpho-functional changes in the lymph nodes during their adaptation to the environmental influences, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of the environmental (in our case - cooling, chemicals) imprinting, in order to judge on the degree of individual stability of the organism to these effects. The morpho-functional rearrangements in the lymph nodes, under the environmental influences on the animal organism, reflect the dynamics of complex interorganic correlations both within the lymphatic system and at intersystemic level.
