Question

What is the function of the lymphatic system?

Answer 1

• It collects and transports tissue fluid from the intercellular spaces of all tissues back into the bloodstream via the veins.
• Lymph nodes play an important role in the body's defence by killing germs with the help of lymphocytes and by producing antibodies.
• They transport larger compounds, such as enzymes and hormones, from their sites of production to the bloodstream.
