GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A thin tube that carries lymph (lymphatic fluid) and white blood cells through the lymphatic system. Also called lymphatic vessel. Anatomy of the lymph system, showing the lymph vessels and lymph organs including lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphatic vessels, or tubes, are the pathways that carry lymph. The major lymphatic vessels are: The thoracic duct: It begins near the lower part of the spine and collects lymph from the pelvis, abdomen, and lower chest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymphatic capillaries collect lymph fluid from the tissues, which allows them to regulate the pressure of interstitial fluid. This fluid is essentially plasma that leaks out of cardiovascular capillaries into the tissues due to the forces of hydrostatic or oncotic pressure.
