Abstract:The intramural lymphatic of the thymus of guinea pig has been studied by light and electronic microscope in order to obtain information regarding their fine distribution, ultrastructure and possible mechanisms of lymph formation. Some analyses were performed with the aid of the medical image analysis system. There are lymphatic capillary and vessels in subcapsule and interlobubor of thymus, lymphatic capillaries and lymphatics closely adjoin the blood capilary or even locate among blood capillaries. ultrastructurally, the lymphatics are similar to those described in other organs. Our study suggests that vesicular system may play primary role in lymph formation.
