Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic capillaries tend to form a large network of tubes that are known as lymphatic vessels. The two major lymphatics of the body include the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph vessels. The lymphatic structures that closely parallel veins are called. lymph nodes. The tiny, oval shaped lymph structures located throughout the body are known as. thoracic duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -That system is the lymphatic system. It runs parallel to the veins and empties into them. Lymph forms at the microscopic level. Small arteries, or arterioles, lead to capillaries, which in turn lead to small veins, or venules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph vessels that carry lymph to a lymph node are called afferent lymph vessels, and those that carry it from a lymph node are called efferent lymph vessels, from where the lymph may travel to another lymph node, may be returned to a vein, or may travel to a larger lymph duct.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lymphatic system runs throughout your body in parallel to your blood vessels. It comprises hundreds of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and lymphatic capillaries spread throughout your body.
