DISEASES OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM. 445 diseases peculiar to the lymphatic apparatus, and in certain specific diseases, such as tuberculosis, farcy of the ox, etc., it is necessary to understand thoroughly the topography of the lymphatic system. Topography of the lymphatic glandular apparatus : Examination. The lymphatic glands are in some cases superficial, in others deep seated, and are arranged symmetrically on either side of the body. Beginning with the head and fore quarters, the lymphatic apparatus. Fig. 210.—Deep-seated lymphatic glands of the head and neck. The posterior portion of the lower jaw removed.

None of these glands are very deeply placed, and all are easily accessible to palpation, provided their exact position is known and the animals are not too fat. The subatloid is a little more difficult to detect, but in thin animals the tips of the fingers can easily be passed under the wing of the atlas so that the condition of the gland can be examined. In a normal condition, any gland on being examined conveys a sensation of softness and elasticity of a special character which never varies. Palpation is painless. When, however, the gland is diseased, palpation causes pain in the case of all acute affections. It may, indeed, be impossible to reach.
