Description
A 3D model of a lymphatic vessel showing its thin wall structure and internal valves. The wall contains a single layer of endothelium with anchoring filaments that pull the vessel open when interstitial pressure rises. Valves are more frequent than in veins, ensuring unidirectional lymph flow. Lymphatic vessels collect interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream. They also transport immune cells and fat-soluble nutrients absorbed from the gut. Lymphatic dysfunction causes lymphedema, the swelling that results from impaired lymph drainage. Lymphatic vessel anatomy is studied in immunology, oncology (for understanding metastasis), and lymphedema management. Medical advisory board reviewed. Ready for rendering, real-time, and 3D printing.
