The interposition of LNs in between the lymphatic vasculature allows the filtration of lymph fluid, cell-cell interactions, and also the transfer of lymph fluid into the venous system.

Remodelling of the lymphatic system during inflammation includes lymphangiogenesis, changed fluid transport rates, and modification of LN morphology. Alterations of these processes can aggravate inflammatory processes, leading to an incomplete resolution of the inflammation and often ending in chronic inflammatory condition.
