GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections. Lymphatic (lim-FAT-ik) vessels, tissues, organs, and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system does different things: it acts as a one-way drainage system – this means it moves fluid from body tissues into the blood circulation. it contains white blood cells called lymphocytes, which fight infection. it gets rid of any waste that cells make.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some lymph nodes are clustered under the skin, particularly in the neck, armpits, and groin. Other lymph nodes are deep within the body, for example inside the abdomen. The lymphatic vessels drain into collecting ducts, which empty their contents into the two subclavian veins, located under the collarbones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymphatic system, or lymphoid system, is an organ system in vertebrates that is part of the immune system, and complementary to the circulatory system. It consists of a large network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic or lymphoid organs, and lymphoid tissues.
