Lymphatic system

Lymphatic capillaries

Lymphatic capillaries (vasa lymphocapilldria) are the initial link - the "roots" of the lymphatic system. They are present in all organs and tissues of the human body, except the brain and spinal cord, their membranes, the eyeball, the inner ear, the epithelial cover of the skin and mucous membranes, cartilage, spleen parenchyma, bone marrow and placenta.

Structure of the lymphatic system

The lymphatic system (systema lymphaticum) includes capillaries branched in organs and tissues, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes that are biological filters for the tissue fluid, and also lymphatic trunks and ducts.
