Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tissues and organs that produce, store, and carry white blood cells that fight infections and other diseases. This system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels (a network of thin tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that work together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into your circulatory system (your bloodstream). Some 20 liters of plasma flow through your body’s arteries and smaller arteriole blood vessels and capillaries every day.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spleen and thymus are lymphatic organs that monitor the blood and detect and respond to pathogens and malignant cells. The lymphatic system plays an important role in the absorption of fats from the intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymph system is a network of vessels and organs throughout the body. This network carries a fluid that contains special white blood cells called lymphocytes between the body tissues and the blood. The lymph system includes the lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-5: -They create special immune system cells called lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs: These organs include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and certain tissue in various mucous membrane layers in the body (for instance in the bowel).

Detailed explanation-6: -Fluid that is forced out of the bloodstream during normal circulation is filtered through lymph nodes to remove bacteria, abnormal cells and other matter. This fluid is then transported back into the bloodstream via the lymph vessels. Lymph only moves in one direction, toward the heart.
