WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF LYMPHATIC SYSTEM? Lymphatic system is a subsystem of the circulatory system, consisting of complex network of vessels, lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs. The functions of lymphatic system are: The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a clear, colorless fluid containing white blood cells that helps rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. Protects the body from the disease-causing agents. Transports interstitial fluid formed as a blood filtrate back to blood and thus help in maintaining fluid balance. Serves as the route by which absorbed fat from the small intestine is transported to the blood..

THE PROCESS OF LYMPH FORMATION Fluid Leakage from Blood Capillaries: Blood flowing through the body's smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, exerts pressure. This pressure, along with osmotic pressure, causes some fluid, along with small proteins, to leak out of the capillary walls. Formation of Interstitial Fluid: The fluid that leaves the blood capillaries and surrounds the tissue cells is called interstitial fluid. This fluid serves to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the cells. Entry into Lymphatic Capillaries: Lymphatic capillaries are small, very permeable vessels located in the tissues. They are designed to collect the excess interstitial fluid that is not reabsorbed by the blood capillaries. Becoming Lymph: Once the interstitial fluid enters these lymphatic capillaries, it is officially termed lymph. It also picks up other substances, such as cellular debris, bacteria, and lymphocytes. Transport and Return: The lymphatic vessels transport the lymph through the body, eventually returning it to the venous circulation in the bloodstream, which helps to maintain fluid balance and blood volume..
