Abstract:
The paper presents a study of the evolutional morphogenetic stages of the lymphatic and conjunctive neck structures formation. The authors make particular appreciations concerning the pattern of organization and also, the functional connections of lymphatic and conjunctive elements at intravisceral, perivisceral and perivascular level. Our study proves that these structures form the barriers but also, the spread pathways of the tumoral and inflammatory process which, after an endocavitary development, diffuse either on the adjacent organs or to the main cervical lymph nodes. We emphasized the importance of these anatomical structures in the neck oncological surgery.

Pharynx
Nasopharynx
The nasopharynx, bordered by the conchae of the nasal cavity, serves exclusively as an air conduit. In its superior region, the pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids are located. These tonsils are clusters of lymphoid reticular tissue akin to a lymph node. The precise...
Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Transport
This one-way system allows fluids, solutes, and even pathogens to enter but prevents their return to the intercellular spaces.
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Larynx
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...
