network of very small tubes known as lymphatic vessels that carry lymph‚ a colourless fluid that contains a high number of white blood cells and resembles plasma‚ throughout the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow‚ spleen‚ thymus gland‚ lymph nodes‚ and the tonsils. One of the lymphatic system’s major roles is to collect extra lymph fluid from body tissues and return it to the blood. This process is crucial because‚ during the course of the day‚ around 21 litres of

the activation of certain immune cells to fight infection. In addition to immune function‚ the thymus also produces hormones that promote growth and maturation. The spleen is the largest organ of the lymphatic system. Its primary function is to filter blood of damaged cells‚ cellular debris‚ and pathogens. Like the thymus‚ the spleen houses and aids in the maturation of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes destroy pathogens and dead cells in the blood. Lymphatic tissue can also be found in other areas of the
