Lymphatic System

The Lymphatic System is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that work
together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into your circulatory
system. The lymphatic system has two major functions which is the removing of
excess body fluids and from cellular/tissue waste products. Most of the waste
products are actually interstitial fluids which are the fluids in between cells and the
medium for cellular and waste transport. The interstitial fluid can be worn out and
can be replaced as another waste product to be brought to the lymph vessels. The
interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent containing sugars, salts, fatty acids,
amino acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, white blood cells and cell
waste-products. 
The Lymphatic System has three main components; the Lymphatic Blood
Vessels, Lymphoid Organs, and the Lymph Nodes. Falling under the component of
the Lymphatic Blood Vessels are the Lymphatic Capillaries which are tiny thin-
walled vessels. The second main component is the primary Lymphoid Organ
consisting of the bone marrow and thymus, while the secondary Lymphoid Organ
consists of the spleen, tonsils, Peyer’s Patch, and malt. Lastly, the third main
component are the Lymph Nodes which comprises with its sub-parts to be the
Afferent Lymphatic Vessel consisting of the sinuses and the Efferent Lymphatic
Vessel to be the hilus. Also consisting its sub-parts are the Medullary Cords in
which the B and T cells are categorized. Finally, the last four lymph node
compositions are the capsule, cortex, follicles, and the Germinal Centers.
