Lymphangion
A lymphangion is the functional unit of a lymph vessel that lies between two semilunar (half moon-shaped) valves.
Mechanism of lymph propulsion in collecting vessels.
Coordinated opening and closure of lymphatic valves is important for efficient lymph transport. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) covering each lymphangion possess intrinsic contractile activity. EC, endothelial cell.
