edema
The lymph glands and the lymphatic vessels get blocked in elephantiasis
Lymph vessels,lymph nodes,spleen,
The contradiction and relaxation of skeletal muscles moves lymph trough the lymph vessels.
Lymph Vessels return intercellular fluid to the veins.
The contraction of certain muscles squeezes the lymph vessels, pumping lymph throughout the system
tiny vessels
A lymph vessel. They are similar in function to blood vessels. However the lymph is moved along the vessel by muscle contractions rather than by the heart pumping.
Skeletal muscles squeeze the lymph through lymph vessels. Valves in the vessels prevent backflow
lymph nodes
Lymph nodes
Lymph travels in lymph vessels. There are varying sizes of lymph vessel, just like with blood vessels. The vessels generally are found just below the skin or in the deeper levels of the skin.
lymph capillary Lymph fluid is filtered in lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are along lymph vessels which that run along blood vessels. Lymph vessels draw in interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) and it them becomes lymph fluid. Lymph nodules are in connective tissue in place of high traffic and does not function as a filter because it's not along a lymph vessel.
