El Sistema Linfático

The video explains the lymphatic system, comparing it to blood circulation. It highlights its three main functions: fighting infection, draining fluid, and removing waste. Plasma becomes tissue fluid, which collects waste and turns into lymph. Lymphatic vessels and nodes filter harmful substances, playing a crucial role in immunity. The system includes organs like the thymus and tonsils. Potential issues include infections and cancer spread. Maintaining lymphatic health involves hydration and exercise.
