structure that prevents backflow of fluid in lymphatic vessels?
endothelial cells
the lymphatics are responsible for maintaining the balance of the body fluids. its network of capillaries and collecting lymphatic vessels work to efficiently drain and transport extravasated fluid, along with proteins and antigens, back to the circulatory system. numerous intraluminal valves in the vessels ensure a unidirectional flow of lymph without reflux. two valve systems are used to achieve this one directional flow—a primary and a secondary valve system.

several unique attributes differentiate meningeal lymphatic vessels from lymphatic vessels in peripheral organs. compared to peripheral lymphatic vessels, the meningeal lymphatic network is markedly less complex, with far less tissue coverage and lymphatic branching. furthermore, meningeal lymphatic vessels are generally smaller than those in the periphery and display a structural homogeneity along the dural sinuses, remaining thinner and mostly unbranched along the superior sagittal sinus while growing larger and more branched along the transverse sinuses. the meningeal lymphatic vessels are also unique for their scarcity of valves, which prevent back-flow of lymph. while the vessels in the superior parts of the skull were mostly devoid of valves, the larger lymphatic vessels of the basal parts only contain scattered valves.
