Deep

The deeper layer of the lymphatic system drains lymph from tendon sheaths,

muscle tissue, nerves, the periosteum and most joint structures – with the

exception of a few distal joints of the extremities that drain via the superficial

nodes (Zuther 2011). The deeper lymphatic transport vessels are usually grouped

together in the same fascial tunnel with blood vessels and nerves.

Perforating vessels connect the deep lymphatic system with the superficial

lymphatic system (Zuther 2011). Internal organs, such as the spleen, are in a

subcategory of the deep lymphatic system.
