Understanding the Lymphatic System by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The lymphatic system transports lymph unidirectionally towards the heart and helps fight infections. Its functions include draining excess fluid from tissues and transporting immune cells. Common diseases are lymphadenopathy, lymphedema, and lymphangitis, which cause inflammation of lymph nodes, vessels, or lymph ducts. Cancers such as lymphoma and lymphosarcoma also affect this system.
