Document Summary

Well, the cells around the blood vessel need the nutrients (glucose, etc. ) and they get that from the lymph. Lymphatic system: infection is when your body gets attacked by a foreign invader, e. g. bacteria or virus. These immune cells aren"t just sitting around everywhere: in order for them to specialize, a special environment is required that can"t occur in the tissues where any bacteria may enter. Lymphatic system: any bacteria present in the tissue, as well as some macrophages that may have gobbled up the bacteria are swept into the lymphatic vessel along with fluid. It takes them to the lymph node, where b and t-cells are stored. If bacteria were to flow through the lymphatic system and then deposit bacteria at the subclavian veins, it could infect the blood and get all over the body: lymph nodes are very small, and not considered organs.
