The lymphatic system is comprised of thousands and thousands of white blood cells that fight off infection and foreign substances that may invade the bloodstream (or bodily fluids) that includes pollen and other allergens, also they fight against viruses and bacterias, etc.

On the other hand, the cardiovascular system is the network of major arteries that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and then the blood goes to the other areas of the body.

What is the relationship between the lymph vessels and blood vessels?

As blood passes through capillaries, oxygen and nutrients can diffuse out of these tiny blood vessels and into our surrounding body cells. Waste products might include lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Some of these waste materials diffuse back into the bloodstream, but most of it is taken up into the lymphatic system. The simple analogy is that the lymph system is our body's binmen.

3 ways lymph is kept moving through the lymphatic system?

Lymph absorbs excess fluid that is not absorbed by the veins which can reduce edema. Obstruction of the lymphatic system can lead to a condition commonly known as elephantitis where the extremities swell up to abnormal proportions. Lymph nodes are collections of cells that destroy bacteria and other foreign particles found in your body. That is why when you have an infection, they swell up and get hot. They're actively working to destroy whatever pathogen has entered your body.

What are ways in which veins are structurally adapted to their role within the circulation?

Veins are structurally adapted to their role within the circulation in various ways. For instance the capillaries are smaller in size and this helps in the connection with other veins. Arteries are on the other hand larger to allow more blood to pass through them.

What Dø lymph nodes Dø and what is there function?

Lymph nodes are composed of masses of lymphocytes and other cells which serve the function in humans of fighting off foreign bodies including bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes are a central part of the human immune system. Lymphatic ducts carry lymph fluid into and out of lymph nodes. This is one of the ways that immune cells travel to all parts of the body. Cancers of the lymph nodes are called lymphomas of which the most well known is Hodgkins Disease.

What blood vessel takes blood from the cells back to the heart?

Blood vessels are responsible for the transportation of blood, made up arteries and veins, they creates pathways for the oxygenated blood to travel to their destination and pathways for the used deoxygenated blood to travel back to the heart or lungs. Capillaries are designed to permit the transfer of gasses within the blood, such as the delivery of oxygen and the return of carbon dioxide. The molecules from the tissues use the oxygenated blood plasma for energy and return the molecules of wastes. Blood vessels form these pathways to reach every living cell within the human body for this gaseous exchange. The network formed by the blood vessels is tubular, extensive, and in many ways fragile to outside influences.As the blood leaves the heart, they are filled with molecules of necessary oxygen, and traverse a passageway of progressively smaller tubular networks known as (in order) arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The microscopic capillaries are responsible for the conjoining of arterial flow and venous flow. Capillaries create the environment for the actual gaseous exchange.As blood returns to the heart for more oxygen it passes through a tubular network of progressively larger diameter known as (in order) venules and veins. Anastomosis is the convergence arteries. While there are several places throughout the body where this process of anastomosis occurs, this includes the necks of the humerus and femur. Anastomosis occurs in areas that require a constant supply of oxygenated blood.
