Lymfekarene, the Danish term for lymphatic vessels, are thin-walled vessels that form a network to transport lymph, a clear fluid derived from interstitial fluid. They are a central component of the lymphatic system, which helps regulate tissue fluid balance, support immune surveillance, and absorb certain nutrients.
Structure and types: Lymphatic vessels begin as lymphatic capillaries in nearly all tissues. These capillaries have
Function: Lymfekarene transport lymph, contributing to tissue fluid homeostasis and enabling immune responses by carrying lymphocytes
Clinical relevance: Impaired lymphatic drainage can lead to lymphedema. Lymphatic vessels can serve as routes for
