[Development of sympathetic influences on lymph flow in the postnatal ontogeny of dogs].

Studies have been made on functional development of influences of the splanchnic nerve upon the lymph flow in puppies. It was shown that during the first week of postnatal life of puppies, the thoracic duct functionally is not yet ready to participate in vasomotor reactions of the organism to stimulation of the splanchnic nerve. Active role of the thoracic duct in vasomotor reactions to stimulation of the splanchnic nerve was initially noted after the first week of postnatal life of animals.
