    Glossary Lymphatic Vessels

    network of tubes transporting lymph fluid and supporting immunity

    Lymphatic vessels, also known as lymph vessels or lymphatics, are a network of thin tubes that carry lymph fluid throughout the body. This fluid contains white blood cells, which are crucial for immune function, and helps to remove toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from tissues. These vessels play a key role in maintaining fluid balance and supporting the immune system by transporting lymph to lymph nodes, where it is filtered and monitored for pathogens.
