Flexi Says: The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and tissues that carry a clear fluid called lymph. The lymphatic system (Figure below) spreads all around the body and filters and cleans the lymph of any debris, abnormal cells, or pathogens. Lymph vessels are tube-shaped, just like blood vessels, with about 500-600 lymph nodes (in an adult) attached. The lymphatic system works with the cardiovascular system to return body fluids to the blood. The lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system are often called the body’s two "circulatory systems."
