What happens to the body if your lymphatic system fails?

Answer 1

The lymphatic system returns the fluid that is trapped in the tissues of the body that the capillaries filter. So in essence if we did not have a lymphatic system we would get edema because the tissue would hold in that fluid. That is where elephantiasis comes into play.

The lymphatic system is also the the first line of defense against diseases. This network of vessels and nodes transports and filter lymph fluid containing antibodies and lymphocytes(good) and bacteria (bad).

Lymph vessels are also in then lining of the gastrointestinal tract and they absorb fats from foods. A malfunction can result in serious malnutrition.

Answer 2

The lymphatic system has different parts to it. The lymphatic vessels transport any fluids that have escaped from the blood back to it. Lymphatic organs have phagocytic cells and lymphocytes that play an essential role in the body's defense mechanisms and its resistance to disease.
