Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The analogy in use for the lymphatic system is that it’s our body’s security alarm system. It runs throughout the outside (skin) and has wiring (lymphatic channels) that run with the arteries and veins all through the body, allowing your body to detect an infection or injury and mount a fever and the immune response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and consists of various vessels, tissues, and organs. It has multiple functions, including helping to protect the body from disease-causing viruses, bacteria, etc., removing cellular waste, managing body fluid levels, and more.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the relationship between blood tissue fluid and lymph? Tissue fluid collects waste from the tissues and as it starts to accumulate in the interstitial spaces, lymphatic vessels pick up the fluid and return it to the central circulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymphatic system is similar to the blood circulation. The lymph vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood. But the lymphatic system tubes are much finer and carry a colourless liquid called lymph.
