The lymphatic system includes organs and cells that filter lymph and blood and destroy foreign microorganisms. Lymph leaks out of capillaries to bathe body cells and circulates among tissue cells and the heart. Organs of the lymphatic system contain lymphatic tissue, Lymphocytes, a few other cell types, and connective tissue.

Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
