title: Velocity of lymph flow in the head and neck lymphatics during food stimulation. Preliminary communication.
abstract: In 12 healthy volunteers the velocity of food stimulated lymph flow in the head and neck lymphatics was studied. The velocity of lymph flow between subsequent lymph nodes had a mean of 0,6 mm/sec with a range of 0,4--1.4 mm/sec thus reaching the range of the velocity of blood in the capillaries.
