Abstract: Nodus lymphaticus metabasis is an important index for tumor stage and a prognosis.Lymphatic vessel formation plays an important role in pathologic state.
Instead, the chylomicrons go into special lymphatic vessels called lacteals, which get their name from the fact that the lymph that flows through them looks like milk.
Just below the skin over the breast, there's a network of tiny lymphatic vessels that drain the lymph, which is a fluid containing cellular waste products and white blood cells.
Lymphatic vessels, which serve as pathways for immune cells, have recently been discovered in the brain, and they may also play a role in clearing out the brain's daily waste products.
As muscles that surround the lymphatic vessels contract and relax, the blood is milked through the vessels toward the heart, kind of like squeezing the bottom of a tube of toothpaste.
