The lymphatic system can be defined as the network of specialized valved vessels which drain the interstitial fluid. The lymphatic system also performs the function of transportation of chylomicrons (vesicles which consists of the lipids) formed after the fats absorption through the intestinal epithelium. In the way of lymphatic vessels there exist the ganglial-like structures known as lymph nodes which consist of many cells of the immune system. These cells usually filter the impurities and eliminate the microorganisms and cellular wastes. The lymphatic vessels drain further to two main lymphatic vessels,

a) the thoracic duct and

b) the right lymphatic duct,

which in turn drain into the tributary veins of the superior vena cava.
