4) Lacteals – specialized lymphatic capillaries found in the intestinal mucosa within . the villi. B) Lymphatic collecting vessels. 1) Have the same structure as veins but thinner-walled and more valves. 2) Function as a conduit for lymph. C) Lymphatic trunks. 1) Formed by the union of the largest collecting vessels. 2) Responsible for ...

Lymphatic Vessels & Circulation. Lymphatic vessels begin as blind-ended lymph capillaries in tissue spaces between cells . Lymphatic capillaries have a slightly larger diameter than blood capillaries (Fig 22.2) Found throughout the body except in avascular tissue (cartilage, epidermis & cornea) Structure is designed to let tissue fluid in but ...

The Lymphatic System. The lymphatic system is similar to the circulatory system. Lymph, like blood flows through a system of vessels. In addition to lymphatic vessels, the lymphatic system also consists of the thymus, lymph nodes, lymph and the spleen. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic vessels do not form a closed circuit.

Structure of Lymphatic Vessels. Valves of Lymphatic Vessels. Pressure in the lymphatic vessels is lower than the pressure in the veins. Valves prevent the backflow of lymph. Skeletal muscles contract to help propel lymph. Inhalation decreases thoracic pressure, which helps to move lymph toward the venous system (subclavians)
