Themain direction of the courseof these fibers is from thecutis down to the periosteum,or to the sheath of the ten-dons, to which they are close-ly attached. The direction ofthe lymphatics coincides withthat of the connective this centripetal courseof the lymphatics depends the pronounced tendency of digital inflamma-tions to penetrate to the bone or the tendons.
