GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the lymphatic system’s major jobs is to collect extra lymph fluid from body tissues and return it to the blood. This is important because water, proteins, and other substances are always leaking out of tiny blood capillaries into the surrounding body tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system is closely related to the blood cell-forming system. White cells called lymphocytes are found in the lymph nodes (small oval-shaped organs found throughout the body that help trap and kill disease and infection that invade our bodies).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
