Endocrine glands secrete hormones which are used in various parts of the body, not just at the location of the endocrine glands, so the hormones have to be transported efficiently. Without a rich vascular and lymphatic drainage, there would be an excessive concentration of hormones accumulating in the vicinity of the endocrine glands.
Endocrine system. It plays a vital role in regulating various physiological processes in the body by releasing hormones into the bloodstream to target specific organs and tissues.
No, ductless glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream for transportation to target organs or tissues. These hormones are not absorbed by capillaries in the tissue fluid, but instead circulate in the blood until they reach their target cells.
There are 78 organs in the human body.
The endocrine system controls the functions of the organs throughout the body. Mixed endocrine and exocrine glands are the pancreas, ovaries and testes they produce hormones but are also involved in other roles. Pure endocrine glands are the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, thymus and pineal their only function is to create hormones.
Lymphnodes
No. They are two difference systems. The endocrine system is related to your hormones. The lymphatic system fights infections.

The lymphatic system is closely associated with the cardiovascular system. The primary organs of the lymphatic system are the bone marrow and thymus gland, and the secondary lymphatic organs include the lymph nodes and spleen. These organs work together to transport excess tissue (interstitial) fluid back to the blood stream, transport dietary fat, and help defend the body against disease causing agents. I would consider it more of the recycling system than a drainage system. The urinary system fits that description better since you are getting rid of wastes instead of recycling fluids.
The lymphatic system in cats helps to protect the body's immune system. The way the system works in humans is basically the same in cats. Lymph nodes, the spleen and the thymus are all common organs responsible for the production and drainage of antibodies.

The kidneys are highly vascular organs.
The tonsils, thymus gland, and the spleen are all accessory organs of the lymphatic system.
The cisterna chyli collects lymph from the two lumbar trunks which drain the lower limbs and it collects lymph from the intestinal trunk which drains the digestive organs. So, yes it receives lymph drainage from the digestive organs. It is mainly responsible for"white-fat" drainage, as the name implies. Most people are unaware that the lymphatic system is what moves the fats around in your body.
