A vessel that, unlike a blood vessel, carries fluid only away from tissues. This fluid is a pale, watery substance known as lymph.
The smallest lymph vessels are the lymph capillaries,which begin in the tissue spaces as blind-ended sacs. Lymph capillaries are found in all regions of the body except the bone marrow, central nervous system, and tissues, such as the epidermis, that lack blood vessels. They are especially numerous in the loose connective tissues under the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes.
