==Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph==

Due to their structure lymphatic capillaries are more permeable than vascular capillaries which  means that not only can they remove fluid more effectively from tissues but they can also take up large molecules as well as chylomicrons. Chylomicrons transport fats and enter the [[Lymph - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph]] to eventually join the circulatory system via the thoracic duct; this enables the lipid soluble [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Triacylglycerol Digestion and Absorption |triacylglycerols (TAGs)]] to be transported into the bloodstream. The interstitial fluid or lymph within the lymphatic vessels passes through lymph nodes where it is surveyed by [[Immunology|immune cells]] before returning to the circulation, ensuring that tissue pathogens are removed.
