Kathijadane,
The lymphatic
system is composed of lymph organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels. Lymph
organs include the bone marrow, spleen and thymus.
The
lymphatic system transports a watery clear fluid called lymph. At the same time, it
works in close cooperation with immune system and circulatory system to perform its
important functions.
The lymphatic system works with immune
system to fight off diseases. Lymphocytes, produced in the bone marrow, circulate
throughout the lymphatic system and destroy pathogens that invade our
body.
Secondly, the lymphatic system works with the
circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones. Lymph fluid also removes
excess fluid, waste, cancer cells and toxins, and collects or returns interstitial
fluid, which thus helps maintain body fluid balance.
