1111 Your immune system is your body’s resistance to infections and other harmful invaders. Without it, you would always get immune system diseases, and sick from bacteria or viruses. Your immune system is made up of individual cells, tissues, and organs that work together to preserve you. The lymph or lymphatic, system is a significant part of the immune system. It’s a chain of lymph nodes and vessels. Lymphatic vessels are tiny tubes that branch, like blood vessels, throughout the body. They carry a clear fluid called lymph. Lymph includes tissue fluid, waste products, and immune system cells. Lymph nodes are tiny, bean-shaped clumps of immune system cells that are connected by lymphatic vessels. They include white blood cells that catch viruses, bacteria, and different invaders, including cancer cells. White blood cells are the cells of the immune system. They are made in one of your lymph organs, the bone marrow. Other lymph organs involve the spleen and thymus. Overall healthy immune system plays an essential role in combating diseases.
