Lymph. Lymph is a fluid that circulates throughout the body in the lymphatic system. It forms when tissue fluids/blood plasma (mostly water, with proteins and other dissolved substances) drain into the lymphatic system. It contains a high number of lymphocytes (white cells that fight infection).t forms when tissue fluids/blood plasma (mostly water, with proteins and other dissolved substances) drain into the lymphatic system.

View full size image. 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.The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the circulatory system's veins and capillaries.iew full size image.

What the lymphatic system is. The lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes and lymph nodes that run throughout the body. These tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels. The lymph system is an important part of our immune system.t also collects any cancer cells if these are present. This fluid then drains into the lymph vessels. The lymph then flows through the lymph vessels into the lymph glands, which filter out any bacteria and damaged cells. From the lymph glands, the lymph moves into larger lymphatic vessels that join up.

Lymphadenitis. Lymphadenitis is the medical term for an infection in one or more lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are filled with white blood cells that help your body fight off infections. When lymph nodes become infected, it's usually because an infection started somewhere else in your body.ymphadenitis. Lymphadenitis is the medical term for an infection in one or more lymph nodes.

The lymphatic system. The diagram shows the lymph vessels, lymph nodes and the other organs that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is similar to the blood circulation. The lymph vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood.t also collects any cancer cells if these are present. This fluid then drains into the lymph vessels. The lymph then flows through the lymph vessels into the lymph glands, which filter out any bacteria and damaged cells. From the lymph glands, the lymph moves into larger lymphatic vessels that join up.

Lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs which produce and store blood cells that help fight disease and infection. Also known as lymph glands, lymph nodes remove cell waste and fluids from lymph (lymphatic fluid), and store lymphocytes (white blood cells).Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system and are located throughout the body, including the neck, armpits, abdomen and groin.ymph nodes.

The lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (or vessels) that drain lymph fluid from all over the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and the tonsils.he lymphatic system has three functions: 1  The removal of excess fluids from body tissues. 2  Absorption of fatty acids and subsequent transport of fat, chyle, to the circulatory system. 3  Production of immune cells (such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and antibody producing cells called plasma cells).

The lymphatic system Back to top. The lymphatic system is one of the body's natural defences against infection. It’s made up of organs such as the bone marrow, thymus and spleen, as well as lymph nodes (sometimes called lymph glands).ancer can develop in the lymph nodes in two ways. It can start there as a primary cancer, or it can spread into the lymph nodes from a primary cancer elsewhere in the body. Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is called lymphoma.

A. The lymphatic system consists of a fluid called lymph flowing within lymphatic vessels, several structures and organs that contain lymphatic tissue (specialized reticular tissue containing large numbers of lymphocytes), and bone marrow, which is the site of lymphocyte production (Figure 22.1)..
