Once the interstitial fluid is in the lymphatic vessels, it's called lymph.

一旦间质液进入淋巴中，它就叫做“淋巴”。

The brain however, does not have lymphatic vessels that it can use for waste clearance.

但大脑并没有用来清理废物的淋巴血。

To keep the lymph from sliding backwards, the lymphatic vessels have valves just like the veins.

淋巴返流，淋巴和静脉一样有瓣膜。

Lymphatic capillaries are the smallest lymphatic vessels, and they're located throughout the interstitial space.

毛细淋巴是最小的淋巴，它们广泛分布于间质。

The tunica externa also has nerve fibers, lymphatic vessels, and in the biggest vessels, the protein elastin.

外膜也有神经纤维、淋巴，在最大的血中也有弹性蛋白。

These lymphatic vessels mainly drain into a group of lymph nodes in the axilla, or the armpit.

这些淋巴主要通向腋窝淋巴结。

When an infection gets into the tissue, it can slip into a lymphatic capillary and move into a lymphatic vessel.

当感染侵入组织，它会进入毛细淋巴，从而进入淋巴。

Cancer cells can also enter and block the thin lymphatic vessels, which causes lymph to build up in the interstitial space.

癌细胞也可以进入并阻塞细小的淋巴，使淋巴聚集到组织间隙。

That's where the lymphatic vessels, or lymphatics, come into play: they collect excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood.

这就是淋巴发挥作用的地方了：它们收集过量的间质液并把它们运回血液。

Lymphatic capillaries are the smallest lymphatic vessels and collect fluid from the surrounding tissues.

毛细淋巴是最小的淋巴，从周围组织收集液体。

After the lymph is picked up by the lymphatic capillaries, the capillaries converge into larger lymphatic vessels.

淋巴毛细血吸收淋巴液后，毛细血会聚成较大的淋巴。

Like veins, we see that lymphatic vessels have thin walls, and the larger ones contain one-way valves.

像静脉一样，我们看到淋巴壁很薄，较大的淋巴含有单向瓣膜。

In addition, rhythmic smooth muscle contractions of the larger lymphatic vessel walls help to push the lymph along.

另外，较大的淋巴壁的节律性平滑肌收缩有助于推动淋巴。

The microscopic lymphatic capillaries are the smallest lymphatic vessels and collect fluid from the surrounding tissues.

显微镜下的毛细淋巴是最小的淋巴，从周围组织收集液体。

Therefore, we see that the larger lymphatic vessels contain one-way valves.

因此，我们看到较大的淋巴包含单向瓣。

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.

于是乳糜微粒进入叫做乳糜的特殊淋巴，它们因流经此处的淋巴形似牛奶而得名。

The lymphatic vessels direct lymph toward the upper chest, where they finally return to the venous blood system through one of two large ducts.

淋巴将淋巴引向上胸部，最后它们通过两条大导之一，返回静脉血液系统。

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.

在乳房皮肤下，分布着可以引流淋巴液的淋巴网络；淋巴液中有细胞代谢产物和白细胞。

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.

淋巴，免疫细胞提供路径的血，最近被发现存在于大脑中，淋巴也可能在清除大脑日常代谢物中扮演了重要的角色。

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.

随着淋巴周围的肌肉收缩和放松，血液通过血被挤向心脏，这就像挤压牙膏的底部一样。
