MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -It produces cells called T-lymphocytes which circulate around the body. These cells are important for cell mediated response to an immune challenge, such as may occur when we have an infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph nodes contain lots of white blood cells called lymphocytes. If you have an infection, the lymphocytes multiply inside your lymph nodes. They help fight the infection and make chemicals that activate other parts of your immune system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph contains white blood cells called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sites) and chyle (KYE-ul), which is made of fats and proteins from the intestines. This is important because water, proteins, and other substances are always leaking out of tiny blood capillaries into the body tissues around them.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lymphatic system is a major part of the immune system. It produces leukocytes called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are the key cells involved in the immune response. They recognize and help destroy particular pathogens in body fluids and cells.
