Block2/Fig.1a 93W4094 Lymphatic vessel (cs) H&E.

block3_04.jpg - Fig.1a 93W4094 Lymphatic vessel (cs) H&E. Lymphaticvessels have the same tunics as blood vessels, but their wallsare always much thinner. This reflects the fact that lymphflows under very low pressure. To direct the flow of lymph,lymphatic vessels contain more valves (V) than veins. Theblack dashed line rectangle shows the orientation of figure1b.Fig.1b The valve consists of a single layer of endothelial cells(En) at each side.
