nyirokahordozó

A nyirokahordozó is a term used in Hungarian to describe a vessel or structure that transports lymph. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of wastes, toxins, and unwanted materials. It is composed of the lymph, lymphocytes, lymph nodes, and the lymphatic vessels that carry the lymph.

Lymphatic vessels, also known as lymphatics or lymph vessels, are thin-walled vessels that carry lymph. They are part of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic vessels are found throughout the body, and they are responsible for collecting excess fluid, called lymph, from the tissues and returning it to the bloodstream. This fluid contains proteins, fats, and waste products. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting immune cells and filtering out pathogens.

In medical contexts, "nyirokahordozó" can refer to the microscopic lymphatic capillaries, larger lymphatic vessels, or even larger ducts that ultimately drain into the venous circulation. Conditions affecting these vessels, such as lymphedema, occur when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked, leading to a buildup of lymph in the tissues. Understanding the function and structure of nyirokahordozó is therefore essential for comprehending lymphatic circulation and related health issues.
