What else can I help you with?
Is lymph carried in the cardiovascular system?
Yes, it is both carried through the cardiovascular system, and through the lymphatics. Basically, lymph will first flow through the blood in arteries to the lymph node, then from the lymph node to the lymphatics.
What part of the body does not have lymphatics?
The cornea of the eye does not have lymphatics.
What is the difference between superficial lymphatics and the deep lymphatics?
Superficial lymphatics are located closer to the surface of the skin and drain lymph from the skin and underlying tissues, while deep lymphatics are located deeper within the body and drain lymph from the muscles, joints, and organs. Deep lymphatics also play a role in transporting lymph to the central lymphatic channels in the body.
Where are blood vessels and lymphatics found?
In the submucosa
Are lymphatics smaller than veins?
Yes, but slightly
What has the author F P Millard written?
F. P. Millard has written: 'Applied anatomy of the lymphatics' -- subject(s): Lymphatic Diseases, Lymphatics, Osteopathic medicine
Is lymphedema an autoimmune disease?
No it is not an auto immune disease. It can be congenital due to poorly developed lymphatics, or it can be due to blocked or damaged lymphatics. One of the most common causes in India and Africa is Filariasis which causes blocked lymphatics, and can be treated with medication. It can also be seen in pelvic tumours, when the swelling causes pressure on the vessels and lymphatics. It is seen most commonly now after radical surgery when the lymph nodes are removed for malignant disease.
Of what importance is the fact that there are fewer efferent than afferent lymphatics associated with lymph nodes?
The fewer number of efferent lymphatics compared to afferent lymphatics is important because it allows for the lymph nodes to effectively filter and concentrate lymph. This enables the lymph nodes to properly survey and mount immune responses against pathogens or foreign particles present in the lymph before it returns to the bloodstream.
What is an angiotomy?
An angiotomy is the dissection of the blood vessels and lymphatics of the body.

What are the results when the lymphatics are blocked due to tumors?
