[Functional morphologic mechanisms of lymph transport].
The phenomenon of the lymph flow in the initial lymphatics and lymphangions of collecting vessels has been studied. Special attention was paid to the structural features and functional mechanisms of the lymphatic vascular system as well as the influence of extravascular factors on the lymphatic flow. In this context, a survey of the current knowledge of functional-morphological research in lymphology is given which may lead to a better understanding of a disturbed lymph flow under pathophysiological conditions.
