Lymph vessels are not parallel to blood vessels; instead, they form a separate network that runs alongside them. While blood vessels transport blood throughout the body, lymph vessels carry lymph, a fluid that helps maintain fluid balance and plays a critical role in the immune system. Both systems have distinct functions and structures, but they often work together to support overall health.
Yes, somewhat. Lymph doesn't circulate like blood but has a system parallel to the blood 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.
In anatomy, lymph vessels are thin walled, valved structures that carry lymph.

Lymph is transported in the body primarily through the lymphatic system, which consists of a network of lymphatic vessels that run parallel to the blood vessels. Lymph is collected from tissues and is carried through these vessels toward the lymph nodes, where it is filtered. The movement of lymph is facilitated by the contraction of surrounding muscles and the presence of one-way valves that prevent backflow. Ultimately, lymph is returned to the bloodstream via the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct.
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
