Introduction:
The lymphatic system is basically the section of the vascular system and is considered to be the vital region of the immune system. It comprises of a network of lymphatic vessels and carries a clear fluid known as lymph which directionally moves towards the heart. It comprises the thymus, tonsils, and lymph nodes.
