The largest lymphatic organ in the body is the spleen, not the tonsils and adenoids. The spleen helps filter blood, store blood cells, and fight infection.

What is a lymphatic system doctor called? The doctor for the lymphatic system is called an immunologist. The lymphatic system is included in the study of immunology and the key primary organs of the immune system are the bone marrow and thymus, secondary are the lymphatic tissues such as the lymph nodes, lymph vessels, spleen, adenoids, tonsils and skin.
Palatine tonsils and adenoids are NOT synonymous. Palatine tonsils, sometimes called faucial tonsils, are found at the back of the throat. Adenoids are the pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity.
he main function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph fluid throughout the body, which in turn helps with the functions of the immune system. The main parts of the lymphatic system are the lymph nodes, lymph vessels and lymph fluid, but the thymus, spleen, adenoids and tonsils are also considered part of the system.
