VSports手机版 - Summary

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs VSports手机版. It is made up of:.

• Lymph - a fluid that contains white blood cells that defend against germs
• Lymph vessels - vessels that carry lymph throughout your body. They are different from blood vessels.
• Lymph nodes - glands found throughout the lymph vessels. Along with your spleen, these nodes are where white blood cells fight infection.

Your bone marrow and thymus produce the cells in lymph V体育安卓版. They are part of the system, too.

The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. If it's not working properly, fluid builds in your tissues and causes swelling, called lymphedema V体育ios版. Other lymphatic system problems can include infections, blockage, and cancer.
