Structure of the multiorgan renal lymph node after selective blockade of its afferent lymphatics from female reproductive organs in the Wistar rats.
In 36 rats selective blockade of lymphatics from the ovary, uterine tube, and uterus were made. Histological study of the left renal lymph node was performed after 1, 14, and 90 days. After ligation of afferent lymphatics, the renal lymph node showed widened medullary sinuses with many blood corpuscles, increasing density of deep cortex, and medullary cords. There is no physiological compartment for ligated afferent lymphatics.
