Abstract:
Lymphatic system has important functions such as immune defense and maintaining the stability of internal environment.Traditional anatomy of the central nervous system thought that there are no lymphatic vessels lined with endothelial cells in the central nervous system or lymph circulation.But the latest research shows that there is lymph circulation in the brain,and the meningeal lymphatic vessels are found.To further elucidate the structure and function of the lymph circulation in the central nervous system,we review the latest research progress of composition,drainage and physiological functions of the central nervous system and how it plays a role in the immune related diseases of the central nervous system.
