What is the lymphatic system?

It’s a group of organs vessels and tissues that work together to move a colorless watery fluid (lymph) back into your circulatory system (bloodstream). It’s a vital part of your immune system working to protect you from infection and keep a healthy balance of fluids throughout your body. In simple terms it’s your body’s filtration system.
