Lymphatic vessels are located throughout the body, running parallel to the bloodstream. They are present in almost all tissues, particularly in the skin, mucous membranes, and organs, where they help to collect excess interstitial fluid, waste products, and immune cells. These vessels ultimately converge into larger lymphatic trunks that drain into the thoracic duct or the right lymphatic duct, returning lymph to the circulatory system.
