5.33 Lymphatic vessels

Version française

This section shows two lymphatic vessels within the connective tissue capsule of a lymph node.

These vessels contain small lymphocytes (*) and lymph free of red blood cells. They are lined with an endothelium sitting on a thin layer of connective tissue.

In both lymphatics there are membranous projections of their wall that form small valves or valvules (Va). These valves favour the anterograde flow of lymph along the lymphatic vessels
