title: [The lymphatic system--terra incognita? Demonstrated by morphological assessment of resorption processes].
abstract: The lymphatic system has been demonstrated by means of special microscopic investigations, using morphologically comprehensive resorption procedures. References has been made to the literature which gives an account of the available knowledge about the lymphatic system and the scientific concepts produced in the course of the centuries. After going into the fundamental morphological principles of parenteral resorption and resorption in the bovine uterus, a description is given of the transport of the vital dyes patent blue violet and Japanese ink, which was followed microscopically in the lymphatic system. A further phenomenon emerges with the concept of persorption, where the particles are in the micron range and have also been identified microscopically in the pathways of the lymphatic system.
