Lymph vessels do not have an active pump like the heart.
Then, the blood is carried to the heart by veins and lymph vessels.
Sometimes, however, tiny lymph vessels are inadvertently tied off as well.
A dye is injected into the lymph vessels in the feet.
It takes its supply from lymph vessels in the abdominal cavity.
Cancer has not spread to lymph vessels or blood vessels.
These lymph vessels pick up the lymph and move it toward the heart.
Lymphangiography is the same procedure, used only to visualize the lymph vessels.
Excess fluid is collected from the space between tissues in the body and moves through the lymph vessels.
Lymph vessels may also be blocked, and bacterial or viralinfections often develop.
