    The lymphatic system is composed of primary lymphoid organs like the bone marrow and thymus that develop lymphocytes, and secondary lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and lymphoid tissues in mucous membranes that help the immune system fight pathogens. Lymph nodes contain lymphocytes in the cortex and medulla and filter lymph, while the spleen filters blood and stores lymphocytes to help fight infection. Tonsils near the throat also contain lymphoid tissue.
