How does our body get rid of toxins?
Water or Fluid Retention is an accumulation of excessive fluid in the circulatory system, body tissues or cavities. The circulatory system moves nutrients, gases and wastes to and from cells to help fight diseases as well as helping stabilize the body's temperature and pH. Two types of fluids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. The blood and the heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system. The lymph and the lymph nodes and lymph vessels form the lymphatic system.
What is the importance of Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system also helps defend the body against germs like viruses, bacteria, and fungi that can cause illnesses. This is done by Lymphocytes present in the lymph nodes, which are small masses of tissue located along the network of lymph vessels.
The spleen is located in the upper left part of the abdomen under the ribcage. It works as part of the lymphatic system to protect the body, clearing worn-out red blood cells and other foreign bodies from the bloodstream to help fight off infection.
