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.
This fluid helps the body fight infection, and as it passes through the lymph nodes, these nodes pull infectious agents like bacteria out of the flow of lymph so that they do not continue to circulate through the body.
