Correlations of the lymph nodes with the elements of the circulatory system within the funiculotesticular complex The lymph nodes of the funiculotesticular complex are localized at the level of the bifurcation of the blood vessels, among the loops of the pampiniform plexus, on the trajectory of the lymph vessels, having a peri- and paravascular location, being surrounded by well developed vascular networks. These lymph nodes are considered as components of the microcirculatory network, and they contribute to lymphopoiesis and represent the first barrier of the immune protection, which assures the immune control of the blood, that supplies the testis and of those that drains from the testis.

Nodulii limfoizi ai complexului funiculotesticular (CFT) sunt localizaţi în regiunea bifurcaţiei vaselor sangvine, printre ansele plexului pampiniform, pe traiectul vaselor limfatice, peri- şi paravascular fiind înconjuraţi cu reţele vasculare bine pronunţate. Ei sunt consideraţi drept componente ale reţelei microcirculatorii, contribuie la limfopoeză şi reprezintă prima barieră a protecţiei imune, care efectuează controlul imun al sângelui ce circulă spre şi de la testicul.
