Lymoh vessels are slightly
larger
and more
permeable
than blood capillaries
Both proteins and disease causing organisms can easily pass through the walls of the
lymph capillaries
Lymph is moved through the lymph vessels by the contraction of
smooth
muscle and skeletal muscle, as well as
valves
The main function is to return fluid from the circulatory system back to
blood vessels
