The arrangement and architecture of lymphatic vessels in the human spermatic cord was investigated using ink injection methods, and light and electron microscopy. Near the testis lymphatic capillaries are found in close association with the ductus deferens and are grouped like alveoles where collecting vessels emerge. Collecting vessels are arranged at the periphery of the plexus pampiniformis decreasing in number towards the inguinal canal. Single smooth muscle cells are found in the wall of the initial segments of the collecting ducts. In the proximal part of the spermatic cord most of the lymphatics have several layers of muscle cells in their wall. But at places where collecting vessels are equipped with valves the muscular coat is almost completely interrupted. Thereby functional units are established, consisting of one valve and the following intervalvular segment which measures 2-3 mm in length.
采用墨水注射法、光镜和电镜对人类精索淋巴管的排列和结构进行了研究。在睾丸附近，淋巴管毛细血管与输精管紧密相连，呈肺泡状排列，并有集合淋巴管发出。集合淋巴管排列在蔓状静脉丛的周边，向腹股沟管方向数量逐渐减少。在集合淋巴管起始段的管壁中可发现单个平滑肌细胞。在精索近端，大多数淋巴管的管壁有几层肌肉细胞。但在集合淋巴管有瓣膜的部位，肌层几乎完全中断。由此形成了功能单位，由一个瓣膜和随后长度为2 - 3毫米的瓣膜间段组成。
