Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hemolymph Nodes of the Sheep: Studies on Hemolymph Nodes I
Although there are many considerations which would seem to suggest that the term hemolymph is a misnomer when applied to these nodes, this designation, which was suggested by Russel and first used by Robertson is retained throughout a part of this article in order not to introduce a discussion of terms at the very beginning. It is necessary to state, however, that the terms periph eral and central sinuses have been rejected altogether, because no one has shown that they are comparable to the corresponding structures of lymph nodes. The only true sinuses of hemolymph nodes are the radicles of the venous system; the venous lacunae of Weidenreich; which strue turally are tremendously dilated capillaries, and which form an integral part of the vascular system of the hemolymph node. The so-called per ipheral and central sinuses Of the hemolymph nodes can much more properly be designated as subcapsular or marginal and central - in the sense of internal only - blood spaces or areas, than as sinuses, since they are neither in direct communication with either the lymphatic or vas culat circulations, as a rule.
