Lymph nodes are packed full of white blood cells, usually lymphocytes.
Bone marrow, which is part of the lymphatic system, is what produces blood cells.
White Blood Cells are found everywhere in the body including blood and lymphatic cells.
White blood cells are located in the bloodstream and lymphatic system.

All blood cells (red and white) are formed in the bone marrow.
The lymphatic system picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to the blood; disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream; and houses white blood cells involved in immunity.

No, the lymphatic system does not destroy white blood cells; rather, it plays a crucial role in their production and transport. White blood cells, or lymphocytes, are primarily produced in the bone marrow and mature in various lymphatic organs, such as the thymus and lymph nodes. The lymphatic system helps circulate these immune cells throughout the body, facilitating their role in defending against infections and diseases. After their function is completed, some white blood cells may undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death), but this process is not specific to the lymphatic system.
