Some enters the blind-ended lymphatic capillaries that form a network between the cells of the tissues. Lymph flows from the lymphatic capillaries to lymph vessels, passing through lymph nodes and along the thoracic duct to join the blood system. Lymph nodes filter the lymph and produce lymphocytes. Other organs of the lymphatic system are the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and lymph nodules.

Flow through lymphatic vessels originates in lymphatic capillaries that are interwoven into blood capillary beds and drains through larger and larger lymphatic vessels, merging into lymphatic trunks that drain into lymphatic ducts that drain lymph into the subclavian veins of the bloodstream.

The lymphatic system, for most people, is associated with the immune system to such a degree that the two systems are virtually indistinguishable. The lymphatic system is the system of vessels, cells, and organs that carries excess fluids to the bloodstream and filters pathogens from the blood.

It covers the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic criteria for neutropenia. The page also discusses various types, such as autoimmune, congenital, and drug-induced neutropenia, along with their respective causes.

Lymph is a clear watery fluid that is very similar to blood plasma except that it contains large numbers of white blood cells, mostly lymphocytes. It also contains protein, cellular debris, foreign particles and bacteria.

The second type of tissue destroys worn out red blood cells, breaking down the haemoglobin into iron, which is recycled, and waste products that are excreted. Other lymph organs are the bone marrow of the long bones where lymphocytes are produced and lymph nodules, which are like tiny lymph nodes. Large clusters of these are found in the wall of the small intestine (called Peyer’s Patches) and in the tonsils.
