  • The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that maintains fluid balance, supports immune function, and removes waste from the body. It transports lymph fluid containing immune cells to filter pathogens, toxins, and cellular debris. Key components include lymph nodes, the spleen, tonsils, and bone marrow, and the system also contributes to digestion and infection control.
