| injections, subcutaneous | Forceful administration under the skin of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the skin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| afferent lymphatic | A lymphatic vessel entering, or bringing lymph to, a node. Synonym: vas lymphaticum afferens, afferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aggregated lymphatic follicles | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| aggregated lymphatic follicles of vermiform appendix | Masses of lymphoid tissue in the submucous coat of the vermiform appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici aggregati appendicis vermiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aggregated lymphatic nodules | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiac lymphatic ring | A group of lymph nodes surrounding the cardia of the stomach. Synonym: annulus lymphaticus cardiae, cardiac lymphatic ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastric lymphatic follicles | Lymphoid tissue within the lamina propria which, especially in early life, collect in small masses similar to intestinal solitary lymphatic follicles. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici gastrici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right lymphatic duct | One of the two terminal lymph vessels, a short trunk, about 2 cm in length, formed by the union of the right jugular lymphatic vessel and vessels from the lymph nodes of the right superior limb, thoracic wall, and both lungs; it lies on the right side of the root of the neck and empties into the right brachiocephalic vein. Synonym: ductus lymphaticus dexter, ductus thoracicus dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hemic and lymphatic diseases | Haematologic diseases and diseases of the lymphatic system collectively. Hemic diseases include disorders involving the formed elements (e.g., erythrocyte aggregation, intravascular) and chemical components (e.g., blood protein disorders); lymphatic diseases include disorders relating to lymph, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| solitary lymphatic follicles | Minute collections of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the small and large intestines, being especially numerous in the caecum and appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici solitarii, solitary follicles, solitary glands, solitary nodules of intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subclavian lymphatic trunk | It is formed by the union of the vessels draining the lymph nodes of either upper limb, emptying into the thoracic duct at the root of the neck on the left or into the right lymphatic duct. Synonym: truncus subclavius, subclavian duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial lymphatic vessel | One of the lymphatic vessels that lie in the skin and subcutaneous tissues; they join the deep lymphatic vessels. Synonym: vas lymphaticum superficiale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep lymphatic vessel | One of the vessels that drain lymph from the deep structures of the body; they tend to follow the courses of blood vessels to reach regional lymph nodes. Synonym: vas lymphaticum profundum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent lymphatic | A vein carrying blood away from a part. Synonym: efferent lymphatic. Synonym: efferent glomerular arteriole. Synonym: efferent ductules of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
