The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that primarily consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph. It collects interstitial fluid and plays an important role in immunity by transporting lymphocytes and antigen from the connective tissues to organized lymphoid tissues, where the lymphocytes are activated. Fats are absorbed through lymph in the lacteals present in the intestinal villi.
