lymphatic vessels

Lymphatic vessels are a network of thin tubes that help your body fight infection and maintain fluid balance. They collect excess fluid, called lymph, from tissues and transport it back to the bloodstream. These vessels also carry immune cells that help detect and fight pathogens. Lymphatic vessels are found throughout the body, especially in areas like the neck, armpits, and groin. They work closely with your immune system to protect you from illness and keep tissues healthy by removing waste and maintaining proper fluid levels.
