State

The lymphatic system collects fluid that leaks from capillaries, per Bio 3207, back into the bloodstream, and also transports immune cells and filters pathogens through lymph nodes along the way.

Lymph node swelling during infection reflects immune-cell activity concentrated at that filtering point.

Watch for

Lymphatic vessels have no central pump like the heart — fluid moves mainly through surrounding muscle contraction.
