From the Paper:

"The lymphatic system is a vast, complex network of nodes and related tissues that helps to protect and maintain the internal fluid environment of the body by producing, filtering and conveying lymph and by producing various blood cells. The lymphatic system also transports fats, proteins and other substances to the blood system and restores fluid that filters out of the blood capillaries into interstitial spaces during normal metabolism."
