The role of the lymphatic vessels is mainly to collect fluids that come from the capillary vessels during nutrient exchange and drain them back into the venous system. Also included in this interstitial fluid that drains into the lymphatic capillaries are pathogens, cells of the lymphocyte system, cellular secretion products and cellular debris.
