The lymphatic system, composed of lymph nodes, vessels, and organs, serves several vital functions. It helps maintain fluid balance by collecting excess tissue fluid, known as lymph, and returning it to the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system also plays a crucial role in the immune response, filtering and trapping harmful substances, microbes, and cellular waste in lymph nodes.
Lymphocytes, specialized white blood cells, are produced in lymphoid organs like the spleen and thymus, contributing to immune defense.
This system supports immunity, waste removal, and fluid regulation, ensuring a balanced internal environment and safeguarding the body against infections and diseases.
