Introduction

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, glands and lymph nodes that connects to drain fluid from tissues and carry it to major vessels. Lymphatic vessels are divided into two groups based on where the cells enter them: small lymph vessels and large lymphatic vessels. The function of these two types of lymphatic vessels is different depending on their size: small vessels drain small amounts of fluid from tissues while large ones drain larger volumes.

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, glands and lymph nodes that connect to drain fluid from the tissues and carry it to major vessels. It is part of the circulatory system, serving as a filter for blood by collecting plasma from tissue spaces, filtering bacteria out of this fluid, then returning it back into your body through veins or arteries. The lymphatic system also helps fight infections by removing pathogens (microorganisms) from your body’s tissues.

Lymph vessels are divided into two groups based on where the cells enter them:

The lymphatic system consists of two types of vessels, small and large. Small vessels can be divided into three subtypes based on the cells that enter them:

• Lymphocytes (white blood cells) – Cells that travel in the lymphatic system and help fight infection.
• Plasma cells – Cells that produce antibodies to fight disease or infection.
• Endothelial cells – Cells that line blood vessels and help keep them open so they can carry nutrients around your body

– Small lymph vessels

The small lymph vessels are part of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing fluid from tissues and transporting it to larger veins. Small lymph vessels can be found in all tissues, except for bone marrow.

The small (or fourth) segment of a vein contains fewer valves than other segments of a vein because they do not need to prevent blood from flowing backwards; however, they do contain valves that prevent excessive blood pressure when there is no movement in the body.

– Large lymph vessels

The large lymph vessels are called lymphatic ducts. The largest of these is the thoracic duct, which extends from the neck to drain into the left subclavian vein.

The lymphatic system consists of two main parts: a network of vessels that transport fluid throughout the body and an immune system that protects us from disease by fighting off infections whenever they enter our bodies.

The function of the small lymphatic vessels is to drain small amounts of fluid from tissues.

The function of the small lymphatic vessels is to drain small amounts of fluid from tissues. They are located throughout your body, and their primary function is to carry fluid from cells and tissues back into larger lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes are important sites for regulating this process because they filter out pathogens, foreign particles and other harmful substances that may be circulating in the bloodstream (1).

The lymphatic system consists of two main types: capillary beds that transport blood; and large ducts called venules that carry fluids away from capillary beds (2). These large ducts have one end attached to an organ or tissue where it drains out through an opening called a node or canal into either another node or vein system outside your body; these same nodes can also connect with each other so as to form larger tubes called sinuses (3).

The function of the large lymphatic vessels is to drain larger volumes of fluid from tissues.

The function of the large lymphatic vessels is to drain larger volumes of fluid from tissues. The small lymphatic system drains small amounts of fluid from tissues, as well as assisting with immune function.

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, glands and nodes that connect to drain fluid from the body’s tissues and carry it back toward the heart or circulation system (i.e., blood). In addition to aiding in immune function by removing toxins from cells before they can cause damage; it also plays an important role in keeping your body hydrated by carrying excess water back through your circulatory system so that it can be reabsorbed into your body’s systems where it will be needed again (usually during sweat production).

Lymph nodes are located throughout the body and collect, filter and pump out fluids from the body. They also produce white blood cells that fight infections. This filtered fluid is called lymph (lymph). Lymph also contains antibodies that help fight disease. Antibodies are proteins made by immune cells called B and T cells when they encounter antigenic substances that could trigger an immune response in another cell or organism.

Conclusion

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, glands, and lymph nodes that connect to drain fluid from the tissues. It also plays an important role in immunity. The function of the small lymphatic vessels is to drain small amounts of fluid from tissues. The function of large lymphatic vessels is to drain larger volumes of fluid from tissues.
