==Development==
==Development==
The lymphatic system develops after the [[Vascular Development - Anatomy & Physiology|circulatory system]] and similarly to blood vessels, lymphatic vessels develop from mesoderm via [[Vascular Development - Anatomy & Physiology#Angiogenesis|angio]] & [[Vascular Development - Anatomy & Physiology#Vasculogenesis|vasculogenesis]].

<p>Unlike the circulatory system for blood the lymphatic system is open and does not have a central pump. Lymph flows through the system in one direction.</p>
