title: [Structure of lymphatic vessels in the human thighs].
abstract: Peculiarities of construction of muscular coat of lymphatics of human legs (long, polylymphangion muscular bands, longitudinally oriented, localized in deep layers of lymphatics walls and forming branches into adjacent valves of lymphangions) are the base for grouped contractions of lymphangions in them. Predominance of these muscular fascicles in muscular coat of lymphatics of thigh provide combined action of group of adjacent lymphangions versus gravitation force in the walking man.
