APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins and Fats – More protein and lipid substances are found in tissue fluid from the liver and gastrointestinal tract. As a result, large amounts of proteins and lipids enter the lymph vessels of the liver and gastrointestinal tract. As a result, lymph in larger vessels contains more proteins and lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph contains white blood cells called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sites) and chyle (KYE-ul), which is made of fats and proteins from the intestines.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic system consists of the lymphatic vessels (capillary plexus, precollecting and collecting lymph vessels including lymphatic ampullae and diverticulum and lymphatic trunks and ducts), organs (lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and tonsils), tissue (Peyer’s patch), etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymph in the lacteals has a milky appearance due to its high fat content and is called chyle.
