.....is_a ZFA:0000010 ! cardiovascular system ......po ZFA:0001079 ! vasculature [SYNONYM: "circulatory system" (related)] .......is_a ZFA:0005105 ! lymph vessel [DEF: "A network of blunt ended vessels lacking direct connection to the blood vascular system. These vessels collect and drain fluids and macromolecules from interstitial spaces throughout the animal. They derive from a subpopulation of endothelial cells and have walls that are much thinner than the blood carrying vessels. Lymphatic vessels are usually classified as either superficial or deep."]

The highlighted section appears to be at odds with the graph

Is cardiovascular system a synonym for circulatory system / blood vascular system?
