The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that helps to maintain fluid balance in the body and fight against infections. The anterior lymphatic system primarily includes lymph nodes and neck, chest, and abdomen vessels. These nodes and vessels work together to drain lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells and other immune cells, from tissues and transport it back to the bloodstream. The lymph nodes in the anterior system filter the lymph and help to remove bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. The lymphatic vessels in the anterior system also absorb fats from the digestive system and transport them to the bloodstream. The anterior lymphatic system maintains the body’s immune defense and overall health.
