Question

What role does the lymphatic system play in growth and development? Describe the role in 4-5 sentences. Is it important in development?

Answer 1

The lymphatic system is composed of lymph, lymph vessels,

and lymph nodes and lymphoid tissues. The lymph is very similar to blood

plasma, and like it, can carry white blood cells. Thus, the lymphatic system is

very important for your immune system. The lymphatic system allows white blood

cells to have access to sites of infection much quicker. Certain types of white

blood cells also mature inside lymph nodes.
