Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of lymphatic vasculature is to maintain interstitial fluid homeostasis. Lymphatic vessels absorb fluids that extravasate from blood vessels and return them to blood circulation. In addition, lymphatic vessels absorb digested lipids from the intestine and regulate inflammation.

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.
