Detailed explanation-1: -Protects your body against foreign invaders: The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It produces and releases lymphocytes (white blood cells) and other immune cells that monitor and then destroy the foreign invaders-such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi-that may enter your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three primary functions of the lymphatic system: first is the maintenance of fluid balance, second is the facilitation of the absorption of dietary fats from the gastrointestinal tract to the bloodstream for metabolism or storage, and third is the enhancement and facilitation of the immune system.
Detailed explanation-3: -True. It is true that the lymphatic system will play a role in defending the body against pathogens and maintaining a state of homeostasis. The membrane attack complex of the complement system is not effective against viruses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The body’s third line of defense is the immune response. This involves the lymphatic system. This system filters pathogens from lymph and produces lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are the key cells in the immune response.
