Correlation of tissue water content with lymphatic structure in toad and turtle bladders

1. 1. Toad bladder lymphatics were injected with India ink via the central lymphatic sinus. The lymphatic capillaries were small and delicate and they fed into larger trunks which accompanied blood vessels. 2. 2. Turtle bladder lymphatics were injected directly from the serosal surface. The lymphati...

More Information
Summary:1. 1. Toad bladder lymphatics were injected with India ink via the central lymphatic sinus. The lymphatic capillaries were small and delicate and they fed into larger trunks which accompanied blood vessels. 2. 2. Turtle bladder lymphatics were injected directly from the serosal surface. The lymphatic system consisted of a coarse meshwork of anastomosing channels. 3. 3. The water content of turtle bladder tissue was found previously to exceed that of toad bladder tissue by 58 per cent. It is suggested that the extra fluid of the turtle bladder is not distributed throughout the tissue but is held within the lymphatic system.
