The lymphatic system was first described in any detail by an Italian physician, Gasparo Aselli, who in 1622 observed the mesenteric lymphatics of a well-fed dog (Aselli, 1627). Not long after Aselli's death the flow of lymph from the intestines by way of the receptaculum chyli and the thoracic duct into the external jugular vein was described (Pecquet, 1651; Rudbeck, 1653; Bartholin, 1653), together with the entry of the lymphatic trunks from the lumbar, iliac, hepatic and abdominal regions into the receptaculum chyli (Rudbeck, 1653).
