Lymphatic and lymphoid systems in the microcirculation

Lymphatic and lymphoid systems participate together in the organization of microcirculation. The reticular structure of the microcirculatory bed ensures its high plasticity, the formation of peripheral lymphoid formations. The skeleton of the microcirculatory bed is formed by arterioles and venules. Along them, their branches (tributaries) (satellite) and in addition to them (aberrant) are lymphatic microvessels, including muscle type, consisting of lymphangions. The muscular system of each lymphangion is divided into parts as part of the continuous muscular network of the lymphatic vessel with local structural features. This single, highly differentiated muscular system sometimes functions as a detrusor of lymphangion, sometimes (valve area) - as a trigger, switch forms of contractile activity of the lymph vessel on the border between adjacent lymphangions.
