Structure of the excretory ducts, intraorganic lymphatic vessels, tissue canals and intercellular space of various organs (data of scanning electron microscopy injection replicas)

Architectonics of the biliary canaliculi and intrahepatic ducts systems, as well as intraorganic urinary pathways in white rats have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy of injection replica. Acinar structure of the intralobular part of the biliary bed has been proved. Anastomoses between the biliary canaliculi of the neighbouring lobules have been demonstrated. A useful method for obtaining injection replica of the intraorganic lymphatic vessels is filling of the ductal system of the parenchymatous organs with solid resins (methylmethacrylate+) under a high (nonphysiological) pressure. Casts of periportal and paravenous hepatic lymphatic vessels have been obtained. An ability of methylmethacrylate to replicate intercellular and connective tissue spaces is verified. Casts of the perisinusoid spaces (Disse) are obtained for the first time.
