Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system collects excess fluid that drains from cells and tissue throughout the body and returns it to the bloodstream, which is then recirculated through the body. Spleen: This largest lymphatic organ is located on your left side under your ribs and above your stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -It helps bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove waste products from them. As new tissue fluid is made, it replaces older fluid, which drains towards lymph vessels. When it enters the lymph vessels, it is called lymph. Also called interstitial fluid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Extra fluid from tissue in the body drains into and flows through small lymph vessels. This fluid is filtered through the lymph nodes, and drains back into the bloodstream. There are lymph nodes throughout your body, but mainly in the neck, armpits, groin and tummy (abdomen).
