A morphological study of the lymphatic system in atrioventricular (AV) valves of adult dogs and puppies was carried out using a series of techniques including India ink injection, a hydrogen peroxide technique, light microscopy, and electron microscopy. Lymphatic capillaries were found in all cusps of the AV valves, and were shown to extend delicate networks in the subendocardium of the atrial side of the valves. The extent of their development varied among cusps, being most prominent in the anterior cusp of the mitral valve. Marked differences were noted in the intravalvar distribution between lymphatic capillaries and blood microvessels. The ultrastructures of the lymphatic capillaries in the AV valves were also demonstrated.
利用包括印度墨汁注射、过氧化氢技术、光学显微镜和电子显微镜在内的一系列技术，对成年犬和幼犬房室（AV）瓣膜的淋巴系统进行了形态学研究。在AV瓣膜的所有瓣叶中均发现了毛细淋巴管，并显示其在瓣膜心房侧的心内膜下层延伸出精细的网络。它们的发育程度在不同瓣叶之间有所不同，在二尖瓣前瓣叶中最为显著。毛细淋巴管和血液微血管在瓣膜内的分布存在明显差异。还展示了AV瓣膜中毛细淋巴管的超微结构。
