Functions of Lymph Nodes:
- Filter and trap pathogens: They contain white blood cells that identify and destroy harmful microorganisms, preventing them from spreading throughout the body.
- Produce antibodies: They produce B cells that generate antibodies against specific pathogens, providing immunity.
Functions of Lymph:
- Collects waste and fluid from tissues: It flows through lymphatic vessels and collects waste products, excess fluid, and pathogens from body tissues.
- Returns fluid and immune cells to the bloodstream: The lymph transports these collected substances to lymph nodes and eventually returns them to the bloodstream, maintaining fluid balance and supporting the immune system.
