What is the lymphatic system?

The lymphatic system is a network of tubes and glands that helps to keep our bodies healthy by fighting off germs and diseases.

It is like a garbage disposal system that helps to remove waste from our bodies.

The lymphatic system carries a fluid called lymph, which contains special cells that help to fight infections.

When germs or other harmful things enter our body, the lymphatic system gets to work, trapping and destroying them to keep us healthy.

Tonsil

Tonsils are a group of soft tissue found in the back of your throat that helps to prevent infections by trapping germs that enter the body through the mouth and nose.

Neck lymph nodes (cervical)

Cervical lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures located throughout the neck that filter and store lymphatic fluid. These contain white blood cells that help to fight infections.

Thoracic duct

The thoracic duct is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body that runs from the abdomen to the neck. Carrying lymphatic fluid and waste products from the lower body and left side of the upper body to be filtered and returned to the bloodstream.

Thymus gland

The thymus gland is an organ located in the chest that produces and develops T-cells. These are white blood cells that play a key role in fighting infections and diseases.

Armpit lymph nodes (axillary)

Axillary lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures located in the armpit. They filter and store lymphatic fluid, which contains white blood cells that help to fight infections.

Spleen

The spleen is an organ located in the abdomen. It filters and stores blood, removing old or damaged red blood cells and producing white blood cells to help fight infections.

Peyer’s patch

Peyer’s patch is a collection of lymphatic tissue found in the small intestine. It helps to protect the body against harmful pathogens by producing and storing white blood cells.

Groin lymph nodes (inguinal)

Inguinal lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures located in the groin. They filter and store lymphatic fluid, which contains white blood cells that help to fight infections.
