form a major part of the immune system that defends the body against
disease absorb lipids from the small intestine
where is the lymph system located? intervals along the vessels
how is lymph fluid moved around in the body? along the pressure gradient
is lymph flow faster or slower than blood circulation? slower
what is in lymph? lypmh forms a completely seperate vessel system that retrieves excess fluid
