Detailed explanation-1: -Your lymphatic system has many functions. Its key functions include: Maintains fluid levels in your body: As just described, the lymphatic system collects excess fluid that drains from cells and tissue throughout your body and returns it to your bloodstream, which is then recirculated through your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Afferent lymphatic vessels drain lymph into regional lymph nodes, which then filter and provide immunologic surveillance of the lymph, its cells, and the foreign matter it contains. The filtered lymph continues into larger efferent lymphatic vessels, which eventually drain into the caval blood via the thoracic duct.
