as the lymph flows from thin walled capillaries into vessels with a larger
diameter.. the walls become THINER or Thicker? Correct Ans - thicker-
similar to arteries and veins
,Lymphatic vessel functions Correct Ans - -high molecular weight
substance and even particulate matter from interstitial space
-lacteals absorb fat and other nutrician from the small intestine
-PROTIENS THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE Tissue can only return to the blood
through lymphatics
chyle Correct Ans - milky lymph found in lacteals after digestion

maturation
adentitis Correct Ans - infection of the node
