What is the Lymphatic System? (Part 1: Anatomy and Physiology)

Click here to watch Part 2, on Lymphatic Malformations:

They can help you understand how your child’s lymphatic system can affect their health, including congenital problems like lymphatic malformations.

What is the Lymphatic System? Lymph, lymph nodes, the immune system and chyle are often poorly understood. In part 1 of our animated video series by the Vascular Anomalies Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado, learn more about the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system—what it is, and how it works!
The Lymphatic System is an efficient, intricate, and vital organ system, but it is often poorly understood. The Lymphatic System is one of two circulatory systems in your body, along with the blood system. It helps return extra fluid to the blood system, helps the immune system fight infection, and helps transport fat and other large molecules for your digestive system.

I wonder what all those little cars are running on. What an excellent way to explain it. I would have loved more details about everything, but a great overview like this is perfect for all ages.

I was finding it too difficult to learn and understand from the book but this video is amazing. In simple language, we can understand, and even without learning it is already learnt. Stupendous 100/10

I've seen some amazing YouTube videos but this is Top-Tier! I still can't understand why schools insist on textbook-style teaching.
