The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
Thus, interstitial fluid is ultimately returned to the cardiovascular system. Lymph nodes help remove pathogens from the lymph before it enters the circulatory system. Lymph nodes contain phagocytic cells which act as filters, trapping bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease.ymph nodes help remove pathogens from the lymph before it enters the circulatory system.
