LYMPH AND LYMPH NODES
Lymph is a clear fluid that travels through your body's arteries, circulates through your tissues to cleanse them
and keep them firm, and then drains away through the lymphatic system.
Lymph nodes are the filters along the lymphatic system. Their job is to filter out and trap bacteria, viruses,
cancer cells, and other unwanted substances, and to make sure they are safely eliminated from the body.

The lymphatic system is a series of microscopic vessels that drain fluid away from the tissues and return it to blood
