GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Together, the blood, heart, and blood vessels form the circulatory system. 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-2: -Summary. Our immune system and lymphatic system work together to keep us healthy. While our immune system actively fights germs that cause infection and disease, our lymphatic system supports our immune system, transporting immune cells through our bodies, and providing immune cells a place to live.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the cardiovascular level, immune cells (activated either by a psychological or physical stressor) interact with endothelial cells, cardiac stromal cells and cardiomyocytes, which adapt their metabolism to support the ongoing inflammatory process (upper part right panel).
