Nyirokcsatornákból refers to the lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of wastes, toxins, and other unwanted materials. It transports lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. Lymphatic vessels are the channels through which lymph travels. They are similar in structure to blood vessels, but they carry lymph instead of blood. These vessels originate as tiny, blind-ended capillaries in the tissues, where they collect excess fluid and waste products that leak out of blood capillaries.

These initial lymph capillaries merge to form larger lymphatic vessels. As lymph flows through these vessels, it passes through lymph nodes, which are small, bean-shaped organs that filter the lymph and house immune cells. The lymphatic vessels eventually drain into two large ducts in the chest: the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct. These ducts then empty the lymph back into the bloodstream, completing the circulation. Diseases affecting lymphatic vessels can lead to conditions such as lymphedema, an accumulation of lymph fluid in the tissues, often causing swelling. The health of lymphatic vessels is therefore crucial for maintaining fluid balance and immune function.
