title: [Variants in the definitive organization of the human thoracic duct from the positions of its preceding origin].
abstract: The study was performed in 120 corpses of 8.5-36 weeks human fetuses using macro-microscopic methods complex. Thoracic duct definitive organization variants as monotrunk, transitional forms and plexus reflect strong, middle and slight magistralization extent of antevertebral and adjacent plexuses. Peculiarities of the duct regions positions are defined by topographical variants of adaptive reorganizations--left-side, right-side and bilateral ones.
