Abstract

The lymphatic system is directly involved in the gastric diseases development in animals. Pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract are in one of the first places for female cats. The purpose of the research: to study the features of topography and morphometry of gastric lymph glands in female cats 3-6 years of age. Objects of research were stomachs and gastric lymph glands from British breed female cats: 10 - aged 3-5 years, 10 - aged 3-6 years. The gastric lymph gland (right and/or left) was recorded in 80% of the animals studied. The shape was oblong, oval, and round. Dimensions: right 10,3±7,7 mm, left 8,4±6,8 mm. Features: absent in 20% of the studied male cats, can be horseshoe-shaped, spindle-shaped, can be double and lobular. The right lymph gland is slightly larger than the left. The duodenal lymph gland was recorded in 20% of animals. The shape was round. Dimensions: 12±12 mm. Features: found only in female cats, having round shape and large size. The splenic lymph gland was noted in 30% of animals. Shape: oblong and round. Dimensions: 14,7±14,7 mm. Features: registered only in male cats, has elongated shape, the largest in the group of gastric lymph glands.

The lymph gland size varied significantly, while the right lymph gland was larger than the left

Summary

Introduction

The role of the lymphatic system in the vital activity of the body is very large. The lymphatic system is a powerful biological barrier; it shapes blood formed elements; participates in metabolism, transport of hormones, enzymes, vitamins; tissue nutrition [14].There is evidence on the direct involvement of the immune system in the gastric diseases' development [1].

There is evidence on the direct involvement of the immune system in the gastric diseases' development [1]. Pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract in female cats occupy one of the first places [2,3,4,5]. In the works of such authors as Akaevsky A.I. et al (2009), Slesarenko N.A. The description of topography, name, age, breed, gender features were not found in the available literature, while Zelenevsky N.V. (2004) describes the general features of gastric lymph glands. There was no exact international veterinary classification given, where
