[Mesenteric lymph nodes in the newborns with inflammatory and non-inflammatory abdominal diseases]
Abstract:
Light microscopy was used to study mesenteric lymph nodes in 46 neonatal infants who had died from small bowel atresia, inflammatory abdominal processes and diseases. There were no lymphoid follicles with germinative centers in the mesenteric lymph nodes of all neonatal infants, which seemed to result from the lack of antigenic stimulation during intrauterine development. Medullary substance malformation in the lymph nodes promotes the occurrence of inflammation in the region of their lymph collection and favors the progression and generalization of a pathological process.

Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
