Superficial vessels

∙ 12y ago
The lymphatic vessels located just below the skin are called superficial lymphatic vessels. They are responsible for collecting lymph fluid, which contains waste products and immune cells, from the tissues near the skin and transporting it back towards the lymph nodes for filtration and processing.

Why does the lymphatic circulatory system have an absence of arteries?
Arteries are used to carry blood away from the heart and toward the tissues. Arterioles are smaller subdivisions of the arteries that carry blood into the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny thin-walled vessels, that allow for exchange between systems. As blood circulates through the capillaries in the tissues, water and dissolved substances are constantly being exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluids. There is always a slight excess of fluid and some proteins left behind in the tissues. This is where the Lymphatic system comes into the picture. The vessels are used as a second drainage pathway. The lymphatic capillaries pick up the excess fluid and protein left behind in the tissues. The capillaries then drain into larger vessels, which eventually return these materials back to the venous system near the heart. Layman's terms: Arteries carry blood and Lymphatic system just carries lymph.
