The lymphatic system is a one way system that begins in the tissues and ends when it reaches the blood vessels. the system helps the body maintain homeostasis by collecting accumulated tissue fluid around cells and returning it to blood circulation. the lymphatics play an active part in the immune defenses by filtering out and destroying foreign substances and microorganisms; and also help in digestion by absorbing fats from the small intestine.
