Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system does different things: it acts as a one-way drainage system – this means it moves fluid from body tissues into the blood circulation. it contains white blood cells called lymphocytes, which fight infection. it gets rid of any waste that cells make.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protects your body against foreign invaders: The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It produces and releases lymphocytes (white blood cells) and other immune cells that monitor and then destroy the foreign invaders-such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi-that may enter your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two distinct fluids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells, and carries waste materials away. Blood also carries hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies, to fight invading germs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymphatic system emerges from tissue spaces as a fine meshwork of vessels. It is a complex fluid drainage system. Normal blood circulation forces fluid out of the bloodstream, where it is filtered by lymph nodes to get rid of bacteria and abnormal cells.
