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.

Lymphatics is a network of vessels (like blood vessels) that maintain fluid balance in body tissues by draining excess fluid and returning it to the blood. Lymphatics is also responsible for fat absorption in the intestines. The lymphoid organs such as bone marrow, thymus and lymph nodes are drained by lymphatic vessels just like any other organ but they also have the special role of containing lymphoid cells, which are immune cells that reside in the lymphatic system.

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.
