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 lymph is conveyed into the lymphatic system through vessels called lymph capillaries. These are comparable to the capillaries found within the circulatory system, but they are larger in circumference and have a unique one-way structure, meaning that lymph cannot pass out of the vessels the same way it entered.
