What are the small organs found on lymphatic vessels called?
Lymphatic vessels are vein-like tubes connected at one end to the tiny organs known as lymph nodes, which carry the lymph (serum full of white blood cells) from the lymph node to the heart. Lymphatic nodes are part of the Lymphatic System, which helps the Immune System fight against pathogens. Whenever you get sick with the flu or some similar virus, your lymph nodes can become swollen--this is why doctors feel the side of your throat when they check you over at an appointment! They're checking to see if your tonsils (lymph nodes in your throat) are swollen.
