Rasterelektronische Aufnahme eines Gefäßes der initialen Lymphstrombahn. Querschnitt mit umgebendem Faser-Zellsystem des interstitiellen Raumes. (Mit freundlicher Genehmigung von Prof. A. Castenholz, Kassel) . Abb. 27. Rasterelektronenmikroskopische Aufnahme der inneren Oberfläche eines initialen Lymphgefäßes. Deutlich sichtbar sind die »puzzleförmige« Ausbreitung der Endothelzellen sowie deren Kerne. (Mit freundlicher Genehmigung von Prof. A. Castenholz, Kassel) gehindert Flüssigkeit mit allen lymphpflichtigen Stoffen in das Kapillarlumen einströmen (.

Die Diffusionszeit wächst quadratisch mit der zu überwindenden Strecke: Bei Verdopplung der Transitstrecke benötigt eine Substanz die 4fache Zeit, bei Vervierfachung der Strecke bereits die 16fache Zeit etc. Diese Zusammenhänge erklären die große Zahl an Blutkapillaren und deren unterschiedliche Verteilung zwischen tachytrophen (griech. tachy=schnell, beschleunigt, troph=ernähren) Organen wie dem Gehirn, dem Herzmuskel etc. und bradytrophen Geweben wie Sehnen, Knorpel etc. Nur der auf »maximalen Gewebskontakt« angelegten großen Anzahl an Blutkapillaren gelingt es, extrem sauerstoffabhängigen Zellen wie denen des ZNS die nötige Menge »zudiffundieren« zu lassen.

Das dadurch bewältigte normale Lymphzeitvolumen lässt sich mindestens um das 10fache steigern (gelegentlich wird sogar von einer Steigerungsmöglichkeit bis auf das 20fache gesprochen). Damit ist dann das höchstmögliche Lymphzeitvolumen erreicht, das nach Földi als Transportkapazität des Lymphgefäßsystems zu verstehen ist. mauslösende Mechanismen eine Rolle spielen, wie z. B. bei Entzündungen des Gewebes etc. (7 Kap. 2). Allerdings muss dabei berücksichtigt werden, dass bei entzündlichen und traumatischen Vorgängen gleichzeitig Schmerzmediatoren frei werden, unter deren Einwirkung dann wiederum eine Verringerung der momentanen Lymphangiomotorik erfolgt.
