Definisi & Makna dari "lymph vessel

What is a "lymph vessel"?

A lymph vessel refers to a network of thin tubes that transport lymphatic fluid, which contains immune cells, proteins, and waste products, throughout the body. They play a crucial role in the immune system by collecting and filtering lymph, aiding in the removal of toxins, pathogens, and cellular debris. Lymph vessels also assist in maintaining fluid balance and transporting fats from the digestive system. These vessels are distributed throughout the body and converge into larger lymphatic vessels, eventually leading to lymph nodes where immune responses are initiated.
