Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Together, the blood, heart, and blood vessels form the circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphatic vessels connect to the subclavian veins, which are part of the blood circulatory system and connect to the heart. Their key function is to transport excessive tissue fluid from interstitial spaces throughout the body back to the blood stream.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic system works with the cardiovascular system to return body fluids to the blood. The lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system are often called the body’s two “circulatory systems."
