PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system actually consists of two semi-independent parts: (1) a meandering network of lymphatic vessels and (2) various lymphoid tissues and organs scattered throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic anf immune system are closely connected in that they protect the body from disease by developing resistance to pathogens and destroying disease-causing microorganisms. The lymphatic system is closely connected to the circulatory system for the transportation in fluids.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A thin tube that carries lymph (lymphatic fluid) and white blood cells through the lymphatic system. Also called lymphatic vessel. Anatomy of the lymph system, showing the lymph vessels and lymph organs including lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow.
