Lymphatic System Components: Lymphatic Capillaries and Lymph Nodes (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Structural component, Anatomical structure
01
Overview
Lymphatic capillaries are microvessels that collect interstitial fluid, while lymph nodes are organs that filter lymph and facilitate immune responses. Together, they maintain fluid balance and provide immune defense. Dysfunction leads to conditions like lymphedema, while cancer cells can utilize the lymphatic system for metastasis. Drug delivery systems sometimes target lymphatic capillaries for access to lymph nodes.
