This video talks about "The Lymphatic System", its components and their functions.
What is the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system, or lymphoid system, is an organ system in vertebrates that is part of the circulatory system and the immune system. It is made up of a large network of lymphatic vessels, lymphatic or lymphoid organs, and lymphoid tissues. The vessels carry a clear fluid called lymph towards the heart.

The Lymphatic System has three primary functions. 
1. It returns excess interstitial fluid to the blood.
2. Absorbs the fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and the subsequent transport of these substances to the venous circulation. 
3. The lymphatic system is a defense against invading microorganisms and disease. Lymph nodes and other lymphatic organs filter the lymph to remove microorganisms and other foreign particles.
