Immunology of the Lymphatic System

This book examines the lymphatic system and its immunological role, from lymphatic capillaries to lymph circulation, to lymph nodes, subcortical circulation and the conduit system, to organs without lymphatic systems. Also covers lymph composition and cells.

This book will be a comprehensive study of the lymphatic system and its immunological role. It will begin with lymphatic capillaries, their origin and development. It will treat lymph circulation, in general, with a special emphasis on lymph circulation in parenchymal organs. The next section will address lymph nodes, subcortical circulation and the conduit system. It will discuss organs with no lymphatic system, such as the brain. Finally, it will cover lymph composition and cells in the lymph. While primarily basic research, the volume will touch upon elements of the clinical, as well, broadening its scope and appeal.

Will provide an overview of the lymphatic system Will detail the role of the lymphatic system in immunology Will explore the lymphatic system, relative to specific organs Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Immunology of the Lymphatic System is a comprehensive study of the lymphatic system and its immunological role. It begins with lymphatic capillaries, their origin and development. It addresses lymph circulation, in general, with a special emphasis on lymph circulation in parenchymal organs. The next section focuses on lymph nodes, subcortical circulation and the conduit system. It discusses organs with no lymphatic system, such as the brain. Finally, it covers lymph composition and cells in the lymph. While primarily basic research, the volume touches upon elements of the clinical, as well, broadening its scope and appeal.
