IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is our body’s ‘sewerage system’. It maintains fluid levels in our body tissues by removing all fluids that leak out of our blood vessels. The lymphatic system is important for the optimal functioning of our general and specific immune responses.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The goal of the lymphatic system is to prevent waste products from entering the general circulation. 3. The vessels of the lymphatic system have valves.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymph fluid carries the waste products and destroyed bacteria back into the bloodstream. The liver or kidneys then remove these from the blood. The body passes them out with other body waste, through bowel movements (poo) or urine (pee).
