1 Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump it, its upward movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps. 2  As it moves upward toward the neck the lymph passes through lymph nodes which filter it to remove debris and pathogens. Lymph nodes also trap and destroy cancer cells to slow the spread of the cancer until they are overwhelmed by it. 2  Efferent lymphatic vessels carry the filtered lymph out of the node so that it can continue its return to the circulatory system.
The smallest lymphatic vessels are called lymph capillaries. These vessels are closed at their ends and have very thin walls that allow interstitial fluid to flow into the capillary vessel. Once the fluid enters the lymph capillaries, it is called lymph. Lymph capillaries can be found in most areas of the body with the exceptions of the central nervous system, bone marrow, and non-vascular tissue. Lymphatic capillaries join to form lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic vessels transport lymph to lymph nodes. These structures filter lymph of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes house immune cells called lymphocytes. These white blood cells protect against foreign organisms and damaged or cancerous cells.
