your lymphatic system

what does it do?


1. It's the only way for vital protein molecules to be transferred into your body

2. helps fight & protect you against cancer

or some really more in-depth stuff...

The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste so that the lymph can be safely returned to the circulatory system.
a.) The lymphatic system removes excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from these cells and the tissue spaces between them.
b.) The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.
c.) Important protein molecules are created by cells in the tissues. Because these molecules are too large to enter the capillaries of the circulatory system, these protein molecules must be transported by the lymph to the bloodstream at the terminus.
d.) In lymphedema affected tissues, the lymph is unable to drain properly. Instead within these swollen tissues the protein-rich lymph becomes stagnant. When bacteria enter this fluid through a break in the skin, they thrive on this protein-rich fluid. It is for this reason that lymphedema affected tissues are prone to infections.
