"The Lymphatic System: A Complete Guide"
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, organs, and tissues that work together to maintain fluid balance, protect against infections, and remove waste from the body. It transports lymph, a clear fluid containing immune cells, throughout the body. Key components include lymph nodes, which filter harmful substances and help activate immune responses, and organs like the spleen and thymus that support immune function. By filtering pathogens and dead cells, the lymphatic system plays a vital role in defending health and keeping tissues functioning properly.
