What are the constituents of the vascular and lymphatic systems? consider structural similarities and differences between blood and lymph vessels, differences in the cell and molecular content of the blood and lymph, differences in the mechanism of fluid propulsion within blood and lymph vessels?

Lymph vessels travel one-way, back to the heart, venous route; has similar structure to veins including tunics and valves structural difference includes the lymph vessel's need to diffuse bigger molecules; lymph transport slower and has lower pressure and speed than veins
