I need some help with the lymphatic system. Although the mesenteric
lymph nodes primarily drain the intestines, do they also play a role
in draining the mesenteries? What set of lymph nodes are involve in
draining fluid from the peritoneal cavity? If there were to be a
high concentration of antigens in the peritoneal cavity, could these
be absorbed by the mesenteries and then reach the mesenteric lymph
nodes?
Any help, and especially a reference would be greatly appreciated.
