Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is the anatomical structure that transports lymph. It keeps some similarities with the circulatory system, but the liquid that is transported is not blood, but lymph. It is not a closed system, it starts in body tissues, continues through the lymphatic vessels that progressively increase to converge in the chest duct or the right lymphatic duct, both flow into the venous system at the point of junction between the vein subclavia and internal jugular vein, each on one side. The lymphatic system constitutes the second body transport network, some authors consider it as a part of the circulatory system. Lymph is a transparent appearance liquid and whitish color that runs through the lymph vessels and generally lacks pigments, occurs from excess fluid that comes from blood capillaries to interstitial space and is collected and transported by the lymphatic capillaries that drain to thicker lymphatic vessels.

The immune system works better if lymphoid cells have an intermediate level of delicately balanced glutathione. Even moderate changes in the level of intracellular glutathione have deep effects on lymphocyte functions. Certain functions, such as the synthetic response of DNA, are extremely sensitive to oxygen reactive intermediaries and, therefore, are favored by high levels of antioxidant glutathione
