Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology: The Development of the Lymphatic System in Fishes With Especial Reference to Its Development in the Trout
The lateral pharyngeal lymphatic occupies a superficial posi tion in the lateral wall of the pharynx and forms, on each side of the body, a direct anterior continuation of the lymphatic of the lateral line of the trunk (truncus lymphaticus longitudinalis lateralis, 10 in fig. The lateral pharyngeal lymphatic drains the subocular lymph sac, the dorsal region of the head and pharynx and, at a slightly later stage, the operculum and the lower jaw. In fact, with the exception of one other channel (medial pharyngeal lymphatic), the lateral pharyngeal lym phatic and its tributaries, together with the subocular lymph sac, constitute, on each side of the body, the entire continuous lymphatic system found in the regions of the head and pharynx at this stage of development. The lymphatic of the lateral line of the trunk (10, fig. 10) is also completely developed on the twenty-second day and can be traced caudad into the tail region.
