The lymphatic system consists of:Lymph - This is a clear, watery fluid which carries away particles such as bacteria and cell debris from the bloodstream so that they can then be destroyed by lymph nodes.Lymph Vessels - These are lymph capillaries and larger lymph vessels, both of which transport the lymph. The lymph vessels become larger as they join together and end up forming two large ducts called the thoracic duct and the right lyphatic duct which empty lymph into the subclavian veins.Lymph organs and tissues - These include lymph nodes which lymph drains through before returning to the venous circulation and their function is to filter the lymph of things like microbes and damaged tissue cells. The main organ of the lymphatic system is the spleen. The spleen has many functions including destroying old and abnormal red blood cells, storing blood and it helps in immune response to infection.
