The lymphatic system returns fluid to the blood.

The lymphatic system has three main functions.

1. First, it returns excess interstitial fluid (also called tissue fluid) to the blood.

2. The second is the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and the subsequent transport of these substances to the venous circulation.

3) The third is defense against invading microorganisms and disease.
