Collection: Lymphatic System

The Lymphatic System is a secondary circulatory system that plays a critical role in defending the body against infection and maintaining fluid balance. It includes key components such as the lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels. Lymph nodes act as filters, trapping pathogens and facilitating immune responses by activating white blood cells. The lymph vessels and ducts transport lymph, a fluid that contains white blood cells, throughout the body, helping to remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins. By maintaining fluid balance and supporting immune function, the Lymphatic System is essential for protecting the body from illness and ensuring overall health.
