This report is based upon microdissections of 30 young white rats and 21 adults, of both sexes, in which it was studied the morphology of cervical lymphatic system performed by injection of submandibular and deep cervical nodes with latex-neoprene colored. It was verified that: there are no differences between the lymph nodes of young and adult rats: the presence of a submandibular chain with variable number of lymph nodes; this chain give efferent lymphatic branches to the deep cervical lymph nodes; the presence of 2 groups of deep cervical lymph nodes, one caudal and other cranial; those lymph nodes give efferent branches which are going to form the deep jugular trunk, the join to the jugulo-subclavian angle; the jugular trunk may go to joing to branches coming from the thoracic limb, from the thorax cavity and branches which go along the external jugular vein and omocervical vein.
本报告基于对30只幼年白鼠和21只成年白鼠（雌雄皆有）的显微解剖，通过向颌下淋巴结和颈深淋巴结注射彩色乳胶氯丁橡胶来研究颈淋巴系统的形态。经证实：幼年和成年大鼠的淋巴结之间无差异；存在一条颌下链，其淋巴结数量可变；该链向颈深淋巴结发出输出淋巴管分支；存在两组颈深淋巴结，一组在尾侧，另一组在头侧；这些淋巴结发出输出分支，将形成颈深干，汇入颈静脉-锁骨下静脉角；颈干可能与来自胸肢、胸腔的分支以及沿颈外静脉和肩胛颈静脉走行的分支相连。
