Today while waiting for the publication of International Embryological Terminology I propose to preserve the division «Lymphatic System» in its project, excluding lymphoid organs (thymus, spleen) and mesenchyma, but introduce lymphatic trunks. In classical interpretation mesenchyma exists in human embryos of 3-4th weeks and at the beginning of anlage of lymp sacs on the base of primary veins (6th week) it loses network construction transforming in different types of connective and muscle tissues.
Lymphatic System
Lympf sacs
Jugular sac
Axilar sac
Retroperitoneal sac (unpaired)
Iliac sac
Thorasic ducts, right and left
Cisterna chyli (unpaired)
Lymphatic trunks
Jugular trunks
Axilar trunks
Lumbar trunks
Cisternae of lumbar trunks
Intestinal trunks
Lymphatic vessels
Lymph nodes (anlages)
