A member asked:
What differences are there between lymph collecting vessels & veins of the blood vascular system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many differences: LYMPH collecting vessel are thin walled, just the thinnest of intimal lining, and have no media or adventitial covering . Lymph fluid is acellular. Vein can be thin wall but may have media and adventitial layers and carry blood with a variety of cells in it.
