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.
Lymph movement occurs despite low pressure due to smooth muscle action, valves, and compression during contraction of adjacent skeletal muscle and arterial pulsation.
When the pressure inside a lymphangion becomes high enough, lymph fluid will push through the semilunar valve into the next lymphangion, while the valve then closes.
Lymph vessels are structurally very similar to blood vessels.
Valves prevent backwards flow of lymph fluid, which allows the lymphatic system to function without a central pump.

- Lymph flows from lymphatic vessels into lymphatic trunks , and finally into collecting ducts where the lymph is disposed into the subclavian veins.
- Run parallel to blood capillaries in all body tissues.
- Also made of simple squamous epithelium.
