Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of lymphatic vasculature is to maintain interstitial fluid homeostasis. Lymphatic vessels absorb fluids that extravasate from blood vessels and return them to blood circulation. In addition, lymphatic vessels absorb digested lipids from the intestine and regulate inflammation.
Detailed explanation-2: -This is important because water, proteins, and other substances are always leaking out of tiny blood capillaries into the body tissues around them. If the lymphatic system didn’t drain it, this extra fluid would build up in the tissues and make them swell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic (lim-FAT-ik) system works to keep body fluid levels in balance and to defend the body against infections. It is made up of a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph-a clear, watery fluid that contains proteins, salts, and other substances-throughout the body.
