The lymphatic structure is based on that of blood vessels.Lymph (or lymphatic ) vessels are thin-walled valved structures that carry lymph. Lymph vessels are lined by endothelial cells and have a thin layer of smooth muscles and adventitia that bind the lymph vessels to the surrounding tissue. Valves prevent backwards flow of lymph fluid, which allows the lymphatic system to function without a central pump.

It is an extracellular fluid which, thugh looks like plasma, has lesser proteins than in plasma. Yes. There are specialised vessels for lymph known as LYMPH NODES. It is part of a seperate system known as LYMPHATIC SYSTEM. It is responsible for absorption and transportation of digested fats and drains fluids in intercellular spaces back to blood.
