What is the lymphatic system?
.
The circulatory system of the body is divided into the vascular system and the lymphatic system.
Vascular system; heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
Lymphatic system; lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes
Blood pumped from the heart flows from the arteries to the capillaries, where some water seeps out and circulates in the tissue, back into the capillaries, some into the lymph vessels, and finally back into the veins. The body fluid components that pass through these lymph vessels are called "lymph".

Lymphedema is a disease in which the lymphatic system does not work well for some reason and lymph accumulates between tissues.
