| Summary: | The objective of the present work was to investigate the anatomical and
histological structures of haemolymph nodes in the adult water deer (Hydropotes
inermis argyropus). Methodology: the morphology of haemolymph nodes from 5
adult water deer was studied by gross inspection and by histological methods.
Results: the haemolymph nodes were determined for the first time in water deer
(Hydropotes inermis argyropus). The nodes located in the neck on the trachea,
thoracic and abdominal cavities in water deer. Dark red in color and oval- or round
shaped haemolymph nodes in water deer were observed particularly along the
abdominal aorta and caudal vena cava; as well as on the trachea along the jugular
vein, on the internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein and on the aortic arch.
These nodes had a hilus with hilar vessels, which entered the haemolymph nodes
through the trabeculae as trabecular artery. The parenchyma was organized in the
form of cortex and medulla. Lymphoid rim was located between subcapsular sinus
and cortex. The cortex was composed of a many secondary lymphoid follicles and
diffuses interfollicular lymphoid tissue, and medulla contained medullary cords and
medullary sinuses. A reticular meshwork extended throughout the haemolymph
nodes formed the structure backbone. The interstices of the reticular meshwork were
filled with free blood cells, many macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells.
Conclusion: the dark red haemolymph nodes of water deer examined were seen
along the course of large blood vessels in the neck on the trachea, thoracic and
abdominal cavities. This is first study has demonstrated the presence of haemolymph nodes in water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus) and provided essential
information on their anatomical and histological structures. The data obtained in the
present study may be used for further research in this field |
