4. Components of the lymphatic system
Widely distributed throughout most of the body but absent from CNS, eyeball, internal
ear, cartilage and bone
• Lymphatic plexuses: network of lymphatic
capillaries.
• Lymphatic vessels (lymphatics): thin walled
vessels with abundant valves. Beaded
appearance.
– What are the factors influencing the
lymph flow?.
• Lymph nodes.
• Lymphoid tissue: Sites that produce
lymphocytes, such as that aggregated in the
walls of the digestive tract; in the Lymphatic vessel valve
spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes..
Dr. Akram Jaffar
Dr. Akram Jaffar
5. Functional and clinical importance
• Function
– Assist the capillaries:
• Returns some plasma proteins that leak into the extracellular spaces
as well as cellular debris that cannot return through the wall of blood
capillaries.
– Essential for immonological defenses.
• Clinical importance:
– Obstruction Lymphoedema.
– Conduit for the spread of malignant disease and infection
• Cells loosened from the primary tumor enter and travel via lymphatics.
• The cells are filtered through and trapped by the lymph nodes. Which
thus become secondary (metastatic) cancer sites.
– May be the site of primary tumor.
Dr. Akram Jaffar
Dr. Akram Jaffar
6. Plan of the lymphatic system
• Superficial lymphatic vessels drain the skin and follow the venous drainage.
• Superficial lymphatic vessels drain into deep lymphatic vessels that accompany the
arteries and also receive the drainage of internal organs.
• Both superficial and deep lymphatic vessels traverse lymph nodes as they course
proximally.
• The larger lymphatic vessels enter large collecting vessels called lymph trunks
which unite to form either the right lymph duct or the thoracic duct.
• The lymph ducts drain into the venous system.
• Lymphatic vessels communicate freely with each other and with veins in many parts
of the body. Consequently, ligation of a lymphatic trunk may have only a transient
effect.
Dr. Akram Jaffar
Dr. Akram Jaffar
7. Lymph ducts
• Right lymph duct
– Drains lymph from the body’s
right upper quadrant (right side
of the head, neck, right side of
the thorax, and the right upper
limb.
– Enters the right venous angle
(junction of the right internal
jugular and right subclavian
veins).
• Thoracic duct
– Drains lymph from the
Internal
remainder of the body. jugular v. Thoracic duct
– Enters the left venous angle.

15. Lymph drainage of the head & neck: General plan
• Deep cervical lymph nodes:
– Surround the whole length of the
internal jugular vein.
– Ultimately drain all the lymph from the
head and neck.
– Most of this lymph has already filtered
through outlying nodes that are
arranged in two ‘circles’.
• The outer circle is made up of superficial
nodes from chin to occiput.
• The inner circle lies within it, surrounding
the upper air and alimentary passages.
Dr. Akram Jaffar
Dr. Akram Jaffar
16. Deep cervical nodes
• The upper group
• Situated in the angle between the lower border
of the mandible and anterior border of Jugulo-digastric LN
sternomastoid.
• One is related to the posterior belly of digastric
and is therefore called the jugulo-digastric node.
– Often tender and enlarged in infections of
the tonsil and is therefore called the tonsillar
gland.

18. Deep cervical nodes
• The lower group
• Supraclavicular nodes: lie in the posterior
triangle behind the posterior border of

Dr. Akram Jaffar
Dr. Akram Jaffar
19. Supraclavicular lymph nodes
• In tumors of the bronchus and some
abdominal organs e.g. stomach,
supraclavicular lymph nodes particularly on
the left side may enlarge indicating spread.
• Backflow of lymph from the thoracic duct can
pass into the supraclavicular nodes. This is
probably the reason why nodes on the left
side are most commonly involved.
