Details can be found [[Lymphatic Vessels - Anatomy & Physiology#Function|here]].

Due to their structure lymphatic capillaries are more permeable than vascular capillaries and this means that they can not only more effectively remove fluid from tissue but also take up large molecules. This allows the lymphatic system to transport large proteins as well as chylomicrons for the transport of fats. The interstitial fluid filtered into the lymphatic vessels is called lymph. As the vessels pass through lymph nodes the lymph is surveyed by immune cells before returning to the blood ensuring that antigens/pathogens from tissues are removed.
