[The myocytes of the lymphatic vessels]

Histo- and ultrastructure of myocytes of the lymphatic vessels has been studied in some farm animals. Architectonics, amount and interconnection of myocytes in the lymphangion wall have been investigated. Communicational and gap myo-myocytic contacts revealed give a possibility to suppose that there exists a direct connection between myocytes. This is important for conducting electrical stimulation from one cell to another. For the myocytes abundance of myofilaments, and in some--an essential accumulation of mitochondria are specific; they are morphological manifestation of contractile function of myocytes.
