Abstract
Summary
The quiescent anaesthetized rat exhibits a free flow of lymph from the cervical lymphatic trunks. A method of collecting cervical lymph in the rat is described. The average rate of flow is approximately 40 mg/hr, the lymphocyte count averages 7,065/cmm, and the average protein content is 3.07 g %. These figures are compared with similar data for thoracic duct lymph.
