Anatomy & Physiology of the Lymphatic Vessels

The video tutorial explains the lymphatic system, focusing on lymphatic vessels and their role in fluid movement. It covers the process of filtration and reabsorption in capillaries, the function of lymphatic capillaries, and the structure of lymphatic vessels, including the presence of valves and smooth muscle. The tutorial also discusses the skeletal muscle pump's role in aiding lymphatic fluid movement and preventing edema, emphasizing the importance of physical activity.

What condition can arise from a failure to absorb enough fluid in lymphatic capillaries?

Discuss the importance of smooth muscle in the walls of lymphatic vessels.
