Capillary Lymphatic

Lymphatic capillaries are microscopic vessels that are located in the lymphatic system and are responsible for transporting lymph. They are an important part of the lymphatic system as they ensure a continuous flow of lymph throughout the body.

Lymphatic capillaries have a diameter of 5 to 20 microns and consist of endothelial cells that line the inner surface of the vessel. Endothelial cells form a network that allows lymph to move and be filtered. In addition, lymphatic capillaries contain lymphocytes, which are responsible for the body’s immune defense.

Lymphatic capillaries play an important role in maintaining the health and well-being of the body. They are involved in metabolism, transporting nutrients and removing toxins from the body. In addition, they participate in the immune system, providing protection against infections and other diseases.

However, if the lymphatic capillaries are damaged or blocked, it can lead to various diseases such as lymphedema, lymphatic fibrosis and lymphatic failure. Therefore, it is important to maintain the health of the lymphatic capillaries and monitor their functioning.

One way to maintain healthy lymphatic capillaries is to live a healthy lifestyle, including eating right, being physically active, and avoiding bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. It is also important to undergo regular medical examinations and consult a doctor if you have symptoms of lymphatic system diseases.

Lymphatic capillaries, vasa lymphocapilarea (syn.: lymphocapillaries, lymphocavernous vessels, lymphotrophs, according to Galen), lymphatic network, lymphatic capillaries, are closed spaces connecting lymphatic vessels with blood capillaries (Fig. 3).

Lymphocapillaries and their structure There are superficial capillaries (subcapsular, subcutaneous), penetrating into the intermuscular spaces (paramuscular), and deep, passing in the fascia (fascial). Capillaries are divided into two groups: capillaries of long tubular organs and capillaries of short tubular organs.

Depending on the branching, they are distinguished: simple, formed from one end, and branched, the branches of which are also divided into simple terminal and gate types. A simple terminal capillary is completely immersed in the thickness of the organ, without forming sinuses, to which lymph nodes approach
