The lymphatic system is a vital part o f the body’s immune system and circulatory system. It consists of a network of lymphatic substances and support the immune function.
Key functions of the lymphatic system include:
Fluid balance: It collects excess fluid, proteins, and waste products from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream, helping to maintain fluid balance in the body.
Immune response: Lymph nodes, which contain immune cells, filter lymph to detect and fight infections by trapping and destroying pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells.
Supports gut health: It absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the intestines to the bloodstreams.
