The lymphatic system is a crucial part of the body's immune and waste removal processes. It consists of a network of vessels that transport lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells, throughout the body. The system has three main functions: fighting infections, draining excess fluid, and removing waste. Lymph nodes filter harmful substances, while organs like the spleen and thymus support immune function. Maintaining lymphatic health involves staying hydrated and active. However, issues can arise, such as infections or cancer spreading through the lymphatic system.
