The lymph vessels convey excess fluid collected from all over the body back into the blood circulation. Along the way, however, these fluids are forced to percolate through the lymph nodes so that they can be filtered.
Lymphatic vessels (often just called lymphatics) are channels which drain excess fluid (lymph) from tissues. In most peripheral tissues, some plasma seeps out of capillaries. A portion of this is taken back up in venules while the rest drains into terminal lymphatic channels, also called lymphatic capillaries.
