A Injection of Indian ink into dermal lymphatics of a human embryo of 70 mm crown-rump length. Numbers ‘3’ and ‘4’ demarcate the upper and lower quadrants of the ventral body wall. ‘5’—axilla; ‘6’—inguinal region. The midline (marked as dotted line ‘1’) is crossed by lymphatics, and this also holds true for the border between thorax and abdomen (marked as dotted line ‘2’). U–umbilicus. (From: [216], with permission of the Gesellschaft Deutschsprachiger Lymphologen). B Dermal lymphatic network of a mouse embryo at ED18.5 as demonstrated by injection of 2000 kDa Fitc-dextran into the paws. Note the connection between inguinal and axillary region
