Explanation:
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: -Lymphatic vessels connect to the subclavian veins, which are part of the blood circulatory system and connect to the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic system consists of the vascular network of tissues and organs (the lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, tonsils, and appendix) that drain interstitial fluid (lymph) from the peripheral tissue back to the blood circulation.
