In this study, numbers and the courses of the afferent and efferent lymph vessels of th&' cervical superficial node and popliteal lymph node were investigated in Akkaraman sheep. As a material, eight Akkaraman sheep were Used.

Four or six afferent lymph vessels enter to the cervical superficial lymph node. The efferent lymph vessel's leaving from this node, are three in number and these vessels joined together with each other, forming a single lymph vessel. Efferents on the left side terminate in the external jugular vein. On the right side, the efferents terminate in the right r lyrhph duct.

It was seen that 4 or 6 afferent lymph vessels entered to the popliteal node and one efferent leaved from this node. Efferent on the right and left side goes to the medial iliac lymph node.
