How does the lymphatic system protect the body against pathogens?
Lymph nodes filter foreign matter from the body's fluid and prevent cancerous cells and disease-causing agents from entering the bloodstream.
The lymph system helps protect against infection by storing the white blood cells that fight infection and assisting with the sloughing off of pus which consists of the infection itself.
Lymph nodes
the lymph system is the body's primary defense against infection. certain components produce and transport cells and protein that help rid the body of infection and they include the spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels.
To help protect the body by removing forgien material
the lymph nodes help with healing. if your right leg has an infection then the lymph nodes will be swollen. they get swollen because the white blood cells carry bacteria to the lymph nodes to fight and kill the bacteria that are causing the infection. whenever there is an infection usually the white blood cells go to that area to help fight off the bacteria. so its going to be swollen and tender if there are more white blood cells in one spot than there usually is. all it is, is an infection of some kind being fought off. see a dr.
The lymph gland is not part of the endocrine system. The function of the lymph gland is to remove fluids from between the cells and bring them back to the blood. The lymph gland also filters this fluid. The lymph gland also enlarges with infection. It produces cells to help fight off the infection.
