ANATOMY OF LYMPHOID NODES OF THE URINARY ORGANS
Keywords:
urinary tract, lymphoid nodules, morphometry.Abstract
The aim is to study the quantitative morphometric characteristics of lymphoid follicles in the walls of the urinary tract using macromicroscopy. Lymphoid nodules are permanent structures in the walls of the ureters, bladder and urethra. The number of lymphoid structures is greatest in the first period of childhood. In subsequent age periods, regardless of the organ involved, the number of lymphoid nodules decreases with age, reaching a minimum in old age. In the 1st period of childhood, the size indicators of lymphoid nodules also reach their maximum values, increasing in the walls of the right ureter by 5.06 times, the left ureter by 5.22 times, the urinary bladder by 4.60 times, the male urethra by 4.60 times, and the female urethra by 4.65 times compared to the neonatal period (p<0.05).
