MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system includes lymph vessels, lymph fluid, and lymph tissues and organs (lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus, and the thoracic duct). The lymphatic system is parallel to and works in concert with the venous system. Lymphatics are fragile and are more likely to collapse under pressure than the veins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system runs throughout your body in parallel to your blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the lymphatic vessels have valves like those in veins to keep the lymph, which can clot, flowing in the one direction (toward the heart). Lymphatic vessels drain fluid called lymph from tissues throughout the body and return the fluid to the venous system through two collecting ducts.
