HEALTHY LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
functions of lymphatic system
It is very critical for our body to have a healthy Lymphatic system. Here are the four main reasons why our life depends on it.
Balanced and maintain fluid
The lymphatic system transports fluid (lymph) and removes protein molecules from interstitium (tissue space) back into the cardiovascular system, thus preventing fluid accumulation (edema) in the tissues.
ABSORBS FAT, PROTEIN AND VITAMINS
The lymphatic system absorbs then transport proteins, fat and vitamins from small intestine into the thoracic duct and enter into the left subclavian vein.
fight off infection and disease
The lymphatic system provides immune surveillance by recognizing and responding to foreign cells, microbes, viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells
removes waste
The lymphatic system removes metabolic waste, toxins, and cellular debris from the tissues.
