Afferent lymphatic vessels and veins both transport fluid, but they serve different functions within the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Both types of vessels have valves that prevent backflow and ensure unidirectional flow of fluid. Additionally, they are structured with similar layers of endothelial cells, allowing for permeability and facilitating the movement of fluid. Despite these similarities, afferent lymphatic vessels carry lymph to lymph nodes, while veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
