Lymphatic System Explained In Simple Words

The video explains the lymphatic system, a crucial part of the body's anatomy that works alongside the circulatory system. It highlights the system's three main functions: returning excess fluid to the bloodstream, supporting the immune system, and absorbing digested fats. The lymphatic system prevents fluid buildup, aids in immune defense by filtering bacteria through lymph nodes, and helps in nutrient absorption. Regular exercise is emphasized for promoting lymph movement, which enhances blood circulation and overall health.
