The lymphatic system is crucial for maintaining fluid balance and supporting the immune system in humans. It collects excess interstitial fluid and filters pathogens through lymph nodes while producing lymphocytes that help fight infections. Additionally, it plays a role in the absorption of dietary fats and nutrients from the digestive system.
