Illustrations of human lymph nodes (computer modelling).
The lymphatic system is an essential part of the immune system, which helps the body fight infections or cancers. The lymphatic system consists of a network of vessels that drain tissue fluid (lymph) into lymph nodes, larger fluid-containing lymph ducts, and specialized organs involved in the immune system. The lymph nodes and organs act as a type of “filter,” removing invading organisms or abnormal cells from the lymph fluid and “processing” them in a way that allows the body to fight these harmful agents. Lymph is a clear whitish/yellowish fluid that contains white blood cells (lymphocytes), proteins, and some red blood cells.
