1057 - What is the function of the lymphatic system?

The lymphatic system helps keep our body healthy by:

  1. Removing bad stuff: It picks up waste and toxins from our body's cells and takes them away.
  2. Fighting infection: It has cells called white blood cells that help fight off germs and infections.
  3. Helping with nutrition: It transports nutrients and vitamins to our cells.
  4. Keeping fluid balance: It helps get rid of extra fluid in our body, so we don't swell up.

Think of it like a filter system that keeps our body clean and healthy.
