Detailed explanation-1: -Together, the blood, heart, and blood vessels form the circulatory system. The lymphatic system (lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels) supports the circulatory system by draining excess fluids and proteins from tissues back into the bloodstream, thereby preventing tissue swelling.
Detailed explanation-2: -Related to cardiovascular because lymphatic vessels are intertwined throughout the capillary beds and they send lymph to heart, maintaining blood volume. Related to the immune system because the lymphoid organ, the thymus is where T cells mature so that they can defend against pathogens.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the cardiovascular level, immune cells (activated either by a psychological or physical stressor) interact with endothelial cells, cardiac stromal cells and cardiomyocytes, which adapt their metabolism to support the ongoing inflammatory process (upper part right panel).
Detailed explanation-4: -Primary lymphoid organs: These organs include the bone marrow and the thymus. Secondary lymphoid organs: These organs include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and certain tissue in various mucous membrane layers in the body (for instance in the bowel). 30-Jul-2020
