IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphatic vessels: Lymphatic vessels are the network of capillaries (microvessels) and a large network of tubes located throughout your body that transport lymph away from tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphatic vessels are tube-like structures that carry fluid (called lymph) away from the tissues to deliver it back into the blood’s circulation. Unlike blood vessels that circulate blood in a continuous, closed-loop system, lymphatics carry fluid in one direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph (clear fluid) and lymphocytes travel through the lymph vessels and into the lymph nodes where the lymphocytes destroy harmful substances. The lymph enters the blood through a large vein near the heart.

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.
