They consist of thinner walls and large diameter of lumen. Their outline is also irregular and they have anchoring filaments that are made of collagen.

Give a brief explanation why the lymphatic system is a one-way system,
whereas the blood vascular system is a two-way system.
(ii)
Point out TWO (2) type of infections that may cause the lymph nodes to swell.
(a) Which anatomical characteristic ensures that the flow of lymph through a lymph node is slow? (b) Why is this desirable?
The germinal centers in lymph nodes are sites of (a) the lymph sinuses, (b) proliferating B lymphocytes, (c) T lymphocytes, (d) a and c, (e) all of the above.
