The lymphatics is responsible for returning the water, proteins, cells, and other substances that have leaked out of capillaries into the interstitium back to the blood. The lymphatics also connect lymph nodes that harbour vast quantities of lymphoid cells that facilitate antigen recognition from the periphery. Intestinal lymphatics also serve the extra purpose of transporting lipids absorbed from food directly to the blood.

Lympth nodes are apart of the lymphatic system, which is apart of the immune system. They help to filter bacteria and cancer cells from the body.

When you are sick, these lympth nodes swell up, this is noticeable around your jaw when you get a cold. The swollen glands are due to your lympth nodes trying to fight off the infection.

Lymph nodes can be found throughout the body. They are part of the lymphatic system and they produce immune cells to help the body fight against infection.
