Nyirokvezetékek
Nyirokvezetékek, also known as lymphatic vessels, are a crucial part of the lymphatic system. They form an extensive network throughout the body, working in parallel with the circulatory system. Their primary function is to collect and transport lymph, a clear to yellowish fluid, from the tissues back to the bloodstream. This fluid, lymph, is derived from interstitial fluid that leaks out of capillaries into the surrounding tissues.
These vessels begin as tiny, blind-ended capillaries within the tissues. As these capillaries merge, they form
Lymphatic vessels contain valves, similar to those in veins, which prevent the backflow of lymph and ensure
Along their path, lymphatic vessels pass through lymph nodes, which are small, bean-shaped organs that filter
