Abstract:
Thirteen adult human larynges were studied by indirect lymphangiography to observe laryngeal lymphatic distributions. Results were as follows: (1) The laryngeal lymphatic system was composed of lymph capillaries and larger lymph vessels. (2) Laryngeal lymphatics had common ultrastructural characteristics of lymphatics elsewhere. (3) Based on lymphatic anatomies, the larynx might be divided into four regions: supraglottic, right and left glottic, and subglottic regions. (4) A single layer of lymphatic network in the anterior commissure region had been found.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

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,...
