16. Initial Lymphatics AKA: Lymph Plexus
initial lymph collectors
initial lymph vessels
17. Initial Lymphatics Characterisitics: LOCATED: Just under epitheal layer of
epidermis and in the subendothelial lining of mucous membranes
-LARGER THAN BCs
-PICK UP LLs
-Irregular lumen with a discontinuous basement membrane of a single layer of flat
oak leaf in shape LECs
18. PRE-COLLECTORS: -FOUND in- superficial portions of the dermis & end at the
collectors in the subcutaneous tissue
-CONNECT initial lymphatics to collectors
-Has some smooth muscle and some valves
-Has some open junctions
19. COLLECTORS: Bring lymph to Lnn and trunks
HAVE DEVELOPED VALVES
Run parallel and bring lymph fluid distal to proximal
Deep collectors draining the deeper tissues & organs
Superficial collectors drain the skin or superficial tissue
3 LAYERS
Intima- endothelial cells and a basal membrane.
Media- Smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers.
Adventia- Collagen fibers and other cells (macrophages, neurons, and dendritic
cells)
Have open junctions in wall of the collectors allowing for a minimal amount of solutes
to escape,
like proteins.
20. Lymphatic Trunks: Drain into larger vessels located in deep fascia and or
organs
