To protect tissues and organs from foreign diseases, white blood cells are produced by the body. The lymphatic system is a network of lymph organs, lymphatic tissues, lymph nodes, and lymphatic arteries responsible for transporting clear fluid from bodily organs to the heart (Moore & Bertram, 2018 pp. 460). The lymphatic system is vital in the immune system. It regulates the flow of lymphatic mediators and leukocytes into infected tissues and cells. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body’s immune system by inhibiting vascular growth factors (VEGFC and (VEGFR-3), that signal inflammation during inflammatory diseases (Chakraborty et. al., 2019, pp. 930). Due to the body’s response to swelling of the lymphatic system, there is an increased drainage of the inflammatory fluid to the inflamed organs. This helps to eliminate dyes and inflammation cells. The expansion of the lymphatic vascular system causes continual drainage of the white fluid from the inflamed organs to increase the removal of extraverted fluids by the inflammatory process (Schwager & Detmar, 2019 pp. 308). Lymphatic vascular drainage reduces the amount of edema.
The immune system responds to infections in both its circulatory as well as lymphatic systems. Inflammation can trigger the circulation’s vascular endothelial cells, which in turn stimulates blood flow. Because of increased blood flow, which is caused by dilation of the vessels in the circulatory system, the circulatory systems reduce the development of inflammatory swelling. Additionally, arterial dilation allows the transport of inflammatory mediators from the tissues to inflamed organs or tissues. The subsequent inflammatory response is influenced by both lymphatic and circulatory system. Inflamed organs are less edema due to the clean fluid transfer by the lymphatic system. Edema inflammation can be reduced through blood flow enhancements by the circulatory system (Eklund, 2017 pp.90).
