The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and carries a clear fluid called lymph towards the heart. Lymph nodes and lymphatic organs play an important role in the immune system. The lymphatic system processes excess fluid that exits blood vessels and enters the lymphatic vessels. It eventually empties into lymphatic ducts that drain into subclavian veins near the shoulders. The lymphatic system helps return excess fluid from tissues back into the bloodstream.

Lymph-atic System
Human lymphatic systemLymph Nodes And Lymph-atic System
Latin systema lymphoideum
“Lymphatic drainage” redirects here. For the massage technique, see Manual lymphatic
drainage. The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of
conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha “water
goddess”) unidirectionally towards the heart. The lymphatic system was first described in the
seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. The lymph system
is not a closed system. The circulatory system processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day
through capillary filtration which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 liters
of the filtered plasma actually get reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the
remaining 3 liters are left behind in the interstitial fluid. The primary function of the lymph
system is to provide an accessory route for these excess 3 liters per day to get returned to the
blood. Lymph is essentially recycled blood plasma.
Lymph Nodes And Lymph-atic System
Lymp-hatic organs play an important part in the immune system, having a considerable overlap
with the lymp-hoid system.Lymphoid tissue is found in many organs, particularly thelymph
nodes, and in the lymphoid follicles associated with the digestive system such as the tonsils.
Lymphoid tissues contain lymphocytes, but they also contain other types of cells for support.
The system also includes all the structures dedicated to the circulation and production of
lymphocytes (the primary cellular component of lymph), which includes the spleen, thymus,
bone marrow, and the lymphoid tissue associated with the digestive system.
THE LYMPH-ATIC SYSTEM

2. The blood does not directly come in contact with the parenchymal cells and tissues in the body,
but constituents of the blood first exit the microvascular exchange blood vessels to become
interstitial fluid, which comes into contact with the parenchymal cells of the body. Lymph is the
fluid that is formed when interstitial fluid enters the initial lymphatic vessels of the lymphatic
system. The lymph is then moved along the lymphatic vessel network by either intrinsic
contractions of the lymphatic passages or by extrinsic compression of the lymphatic vessels via
external tissue forces (e.g. the contractions of skeletal muscles). The organization of
lymphnodes and drainage follows the organization of the body into external and internal
regions; therefore, the lymphatic drainage of the head, limbs, and body cavity walls follows an
external route, and the lymphatic drainage of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvic cavities follows
an internal route. Eventually, the lymph vessels empty into the lymphatic ducts, which drain
into one of the two subclavian veins (near the junctions of the subclavian veins with the internal.
