Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leakage of blood from the vessels is deposited in the lymphatic system, known as the lymph. The movement of blood from the cardiovascular system to the lymphatic system helps standardize blood volume levels, hence maintaining homeostatic levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Does the Lymphatic System Do? One of the lymphatic system’s major jobs is to drain extra lymph (LIMF) fluid from body tissues and return it to the blood. Lymph contains white blood cells called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sites) and chyle (KYE-ul), which is made of fats and proteins from the intestines.
